[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted earlier on this thread and no one seems to want to acknowledge that there is an ethics problem here - she is using her official position, and taxpayer money, for her own benefit. And the fact that DOD policy for decades was that they would NOT support beauty pageants because they were considered demeaning.

So who, or what, at DOD or Air Force changed decades of policy (which had been vetted with the Joint Ethics Regulations) to not support beauty pageants as it was demeaning and was endorsement of a non-federal entity?

This is the big question. [/quote]

Yup.

Or, a question could be at what point did she read DOD into her extracurriculars? Was the train already moving down the tracks when they found out?[/quote]

Maybe. She's cute and some boys in blue with a star or two probably wanted to give her a pass, despite breaking laws. If a regular troop did this they'd get hammered and maybe discharged. I'd love to read all the background e-mails on this ...FOIA, anyone?
