Drill sergeant Michelle Manhart was demoted for doing a Playboy magazine spread. I am not sure that this behavior elevates itself to "conduct unbecoming". How much authority should the military have in mandating the personal behavior of its soldiers. What she did certainly is not illegal. In addition, it certainly does not place the country at any type of risk. I am also not sure that what she did hurt the morale of our troops. In this instance, I think the military went too far in trying to control the behavior of their soldiers.
