Flag Thief Resigned From Military After Posing Nude
[su_publirb]
Michelle Manhart, the “patriot” who tried to steal a flag from protesters and then resisted arrest, was forced to resign from the Air Force after a Playboy spread where she posted nude. She also posed nude with the very flag she thought she was protecting for a PETA campaign.
Manhart first received an official letter of reprimand citing Article 92 and Article 134, according to her attorney during
active duty, Maj. Christopher Brown.
The first charge speaks to failures of military regulation.
The second is a catch-all for service members who discredit the armed forces. It specifically mentions misuse of a uniform.
Manhart, fully clothed in uniform, appears to be screaming at a male trainee in one of her Playboy photos. In a more provocative shot, she’s glistening on an exercise machine wearing dog tags (which now hang from her Toyota Tacoma’s rearview mirror)….

Manhart, saying her patience was depleted, filed resignation papers in early February. Officials responded by canceling her enlistment and bumping Manhart down to her last military affiliation prior to active duty: the Iowa National Guard.

It dropped on the ground. Give it up! ‘I’m keeping this flag’ that doesn’t belong to me…

well, hell, Obie, look what the RepubiKon super patriot Nugent did for ‘flag and Kountry’.

Besides serving as a vigilante “flag rescuer”, she also actively defends the right to bear arms … as well as boobs, butts, and pubes … while rubbing her nether regions on the American flag.

…at least the rabid WHITE thug wasn’t wearing MIXED FIBERS while desecrating MY American Flags!

but the flag was mixed fibers, polyester and cotton for the embroidery

What, there’s still a Playboy?

They keep using the expression “allowed her to resign.” In my 20 years experience in the Air Force, enlisted members did not resign, they were separated or discharged. Officers resign their commission. Unless things have changed since I retired more than 20 years ago.

You are correct Larry. The Air Force on April 20, 2015 confimed to Air Force Times that Manhart was discharged at the rank of staff sergeant. Her honorable discharge — citing reasons of personal convenience.

And the AF Times should have known better, since they should be familiar with proper terminology.

I read she was knocked down in rank to her reserve status

Another crazy person claiming to be a super patriot here to save the country/flag.

This is gonna be super-duper-great for her career as a Right-Wing Nutjob. Plus she’ll no doubt be getting an offer from “Hustler” any day now.

Hustler is too fancy for her.

Think FOX will come calling? They seem to like vacuous female hypocrites.

Wearing the flag as clothing, as many rw flag-lovers do, is inappropriate. To cover your naughty bits in a suggestive manner is pretty clearly desecration of the flag, but personally I consider this application of the flag worse than either of those.

I’ll bet those are fake.
bpollen April 22nd, 2015 at 4:06 pm
Naw… they are real flags. Made in a foreign country like most of them.
