SAN ANTONIO - An Air Force staff sergeant who posed nude for Playboy magazine has been relieved of her duties while the military investigates, officials said Thursday.
In February’s issue, hitting newsstands this week, Michelle Manhart is photographed in uniform yelling and holding weapons under the headline “Tough Love.” The following pages show her partially clothed, wearing her dog tags while working out, as well as completely nude.
“This staff sergeant’s alleged action does not meet the high standards we expect of our airmen, nor does it comply with the Air Force’s core values of integrity, service before self, and excellence in all we do,” Oscar Balladares, spokesman for Lackland Air Force Base, said in a statement.
Manhart told Playboy that she considers herself as standing up for her rights.
“Of what I did, nothing is wrong, so I didn’t anticipate anything, of course,” Manhart, 30, told The Associated Press. “I didn’t do anything wrong, so I didn’t think it would be a major issue.”

Usually I have no problem with girls wanting to strip down for magazines like Playboy, but when the girl in question is currently employed as an officer representing our country in the military there’s a bit of a problem. I can imagine that the troops she’s charged with leading may have a problem taking her seriously once they get a load of her nude in Playboy.
It’s along the same lines of having a high school teacher who has posed nude. She’s just not going to have the respect or the attention (at least not the right sort of attention) of the students in her class.
What’s sort of sad is that I get the idea that Playboy probably used all this for publicity. She’s a good-looking girl, but she’s not exactly Playboy caliber if you know what I mean. I’m thinking the folks at the magazine probably ran her in it more because she’s an officer in our military rather than despite it knowing full well that the resulting controversy would be good for their copy sales.
Investigation complete.
