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.

A moron in action and her last name is not Cyrus. An appearance on The View and invitation to the White House can not be far off.

  1. Send her to SERE.
  2. Give those students a taste of her torture.
  3. They'll "never surrender of their own free will." and they'll "continue to resist by all means available." I tell you!

“Appropriate action” means ‘a promotion’ in today’s reverse parallel universe.

She says she was a young Airman who did not care. Is the Air Force in the habit of three striping Airmen who don't care? I think she is not the only one that made a mistake, whoever was doing the promoting is a screw up too!

I saw the picture, is that really worth punishment? Isn’t the US POW a positive image, and she is kissing him?

Maybe they are upset the kiss is heterosexual. I know she’s in uniform, but this country has become childish about criticizing every little thing a person does or says.

the airman in the photo is Staff Sgt. Cherish Byers. She is with the 92nd Security Forces Squadron stationed at Fairchild. Byers was a senior airman when the photo was taken.

Will this be the kind who will be running bronco's civilian security force?

Is it really worth the punishment?

Few Americans serve in the armed forces. Less than 2%. Those of us that do, have high standards. This so called airman does not belong in our ranks.

Who ever took this picture should face the music as well.

The photograph shows both a lack of respect for our fellow service members who have sacrificed so much for this nation, lack of awareness of how classless her actions were and a lack of respect for herself as well.

Were I to witness one of my soldiers doing this I would gladly go before my chain of command to recover my boot from their ass !

Huh? WTF kind of idiotic sophistry is THAT?

Damn straight that daughter of Obama should feel the hard boot up her butt.

A disrespectful pig is all she is.
