Air Force will take ‘appropriate action’ over viral POW/MIA emblem photo

WASHINGTON — The Air Force is “disappointed” in the airman who appeared in a photo that is being circulated of her posing with her tongue in the mouth of the prisoner of war depicted on the iconic black-and-white POW/MIA emblem.
“We do not yet have all the details behind the photo, but it certainly is a concern; it’s a concern any time someone shows disrespect for prisoners of war and those missing in action,” Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force James Cody said in a statement. “They deserve our utmost respect and we must always remember their sacrifice and the legacy they’ve left for us as men and women serving our nation.
“I want to make it clear that this is not a reflection of Airmen who wear this uniform; it is a case of poor judgment of one Airman … to say we are disappointed would be an understatement. We are gathering all the details and will take appropriate action at the appropriate level,” he said. “Our Airmen fully understand the significance of the POW/MIA flag and the sacrifice of the men and women it honors.”

You took the concept of God out of the military. What did you expect? A sudden ‘surge of morals’?
Can’t wait for the next war. It really will be interesting, between the ‘I’m here for the college money’ kids, and the ‘I saw Rambo 200 times’ brats, and the overwhelming count of ‘I couldn’t get a job at McD’s anymore’ children.
Yeah, I doubt service to God or Nation is a driving response for much of anyone, anymore.
Me? I served when we still said ‘God, Country, Corps’, and then it all horribly changed.
