Why just women?
"............The extraordinary searches will be similar to those the Air Force conducted last year and prompted officers to scour troops’ desks and cubicles in search of photos, calendars, magazines, screen-savers, computer files and other items that might be considered degrading toward women.............."
Why just women?

I fear who and what we are going to be fighting with when this business is done.
Are we warriors, or a PC social experiment gone awry?
All soldiers deserve to be treated with respect and dignity. Got it. If you screw up, you need to be hammered. Got it.
But there is a huge reach from an AF nose art display or a Dillon calendar to a sexual assault. Shoot, some of the avatars here would probably be unacceptable to the sex police.
I guess we need another half day of re-education training from the thought police. Then we can be pure again.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has ordered a close-up and comprehensive inspection of all military offices and workplaces worldwide to root out any “materials that create a degrading or offensive work environment.”

Does this mean that they will take down the portraits of the current civilian and military chain of command?

From my heartfelt wish to your keyboard. Amazing.

Back in the mid 70's the Army had some slick magazine that I do not recall the name of but I do vividly recall the full page color pin ups of Wonder Woman, Farrah Fawcett Majors and Charlies Angels. I certainly do not remember those images being attributed to any sexual assaults.
Something has changed the dynamic over the years, we weren't quite so co-ed back then. Way too much social engineering going on these days in the services.

In the late '80s to early '90s as we were going through this PC sexuality thing in the Airlines. Then we bought a BUNCH of SAAB Aircraft. In the process, many of our "Senior Management" (and I mean "Senior") went over to Sweden. I have taken the same "Tour" that they took, and I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE BEEN THERE!!! On the Tool-Boxes, Dividers, Walls,...........on virtually EVERY vertical surface there are posted pictures that you would have to PURCHASE on the "Internet"!!!
The one time that I got to take my wife over, we took a Tour around the waters of Stockholm, and the weather was more beautiful than I had seen it in the 10 years or so of my visiting there!! Of course, there were young Ladies laying on their dresses or blankets on the banks.........totally nude, and my wife still won't believe that that was the First Time that I had seen that there!!
Later
