The original headline has a graphic warning label.
Um, TTIWWOP?
Interesting case.
Is a flag property or is it owned by the public at large as a symbol of our nation?
First thing the NYDN has to post is about Manhart’s Playboy shoot rather than her AF career. Gutter journalism.
Patriotic, hot, *and* naughty...doesn’t get any better :)
The blacks trampling the flag can all croak.
So many of them hate America. They should thank God everyday they’re in the USA.
Michelle D. Manhart (born October 20, 1976)[1] is a former United States Air Force Military Training Instructor who was based at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, and held the rank of Staff Sergeant. In January 2007 she was relieved of duty and placed under investigation for posing nude in Playboy magazine.[2] She was subsequently demoted to Senior Airman, a move which caused her to leave the Air Force.[3][4][5]
Manhart, a California native, joined the Air Force in 1994, and is married with two children. When her husband was assigned to Waterloo, Iowa as an Air Force recruiter, she transferred to the Iowa Air National Guard.[6] After the September 11, 2001 attacks she was recalled to active duty, and spent time deployed to Kuwait in 2002.[citation needed]
She was photographed for Playboy’s February 2007 issue in uniform, partially clothed and completely nude. According to the Lackland AFB spokesman, such actions do not meet the high standards expected of airmen nor the Air Force’s core values.[5]
She was a part-time columnist for Canadian news site Orato.[7]

This one is way up on a pedestal in my heart.
But before she could spirit the flag away, police officers intervened to return the Old Glory to the protesters who were trampling it and escort Manhart off the premises
You have got to be kidding me!!!!!!!
IMO, both the protestors and the “lady” are guilty of disrespecting the American flag. The word opportunist would fit both parties.
