Do you think this picture is inappropriate for military personnel?

Question

TrueConfection · Accepted Answer

I understand the photo, but I know vets who still get upset when they see well meaning people wearing the flag as clothing. I'm not a vet and I'm not particularly fond of seeing the flag under someone's feet as flip flops or in this case, under their crotch or between their butt cheeks.

That's just my opinion, but given that you are the one putting your life out there for the flag and for me, I am just grateful to you and not offended.

I don't think a young person should get in trouble for something like this although I wouldn't say it is super appropriate, if young people in the military got in trouble for stuff like this, there would be nobody left in the military lol. If a 50yo general posted something like this, I would expect he'd get in trouble for it. JMO!

In my country any officer picturing themselves like that would get a sanction, if not the sack.

The police deputy of my town narrowly missed being discharged because she published a picture of herself in a thong on Facebook. I defended her with the prefecture but I still privately suggested a demotion in rank, which took place. She got back her rank as deputy a year later, doesn't know I asked for her demotion.

Just the opposite, if anything- if, as they claim, the military is "defending the rights of the citizenry", then exercising those rights is a sign of both gratitude and faith in the military, no?

Of course, that assumes it's US military personnel. If it's, say, a Russian soldier, then it's... well, it's probably against some stupid regulation or other, but it's also a LOT funnier.

Doesn't look inappropriate to me.

Red_Arrow · Answer

Inappropriate! The gals are obviously in the picture for sex appeal, especially with the exposure in the wide opening at the tops. And military personnel should not be showing themselves in uniform in sexually aimed photos. They can get in trouble for that, and you could get in trouble for altering an image placing them there.

I don't consider the photo itself to be inappropriate. Nobody forced the women in the background to pose in swimwear. Some may find the flag theme on the swimwear inappropriate for flag protocol, but as long as it's not made from an actual flag it's not considered a breach of flag etiquette. Prolific social media presence is more of a concern with the military than anything else.

Is it appropriate for military personnel to be close proximity to girls wearing bikinis? Yes I think so.

Is it appropriate for female military personnel to wear bikini's with a patriotic motif? Only when on vacation is my thought. There are obvious OHS issues.

Is it appropriate for military personal to pose with a plastic representation of their national animal? I hope it is plastic and not a stuffed one. Depends on what they are doing with is my first thought

ShadezMcgee · Answer

I personally don't think it is inappropriate. I feel it is perfectly funny and patriotic given the timeframe of it. Unfortunately DoD may not see it as such.

WanderingLoveWizard · Answer

I'm actually very offended. This is a disgrace to the USA! You should have a cigar in your mouth, some aviator glasses and your middle finger up

suzzieQ · Answer

Well, I think it's pretty tacky but and unprofessional, and borderline copyright infringement...  But I think that about sums up the US military

OddBeMe · Answer

I don’t think so. But I work with lawyers who have to run all adverts by the bar association. And other regulated industries. So maybe your CO might have issues.

But I guess it depends on how you use.

Forceinhand · Answer

It's not professional but as long as It's not a pic for professional purposes I suppose It's your free time to spend as you wish.
