Now I'm not going to comment on the case itself, except to say that what was done was inappropriate in the circumstances. The thing that I found interesting was that I am sure there are many misdemeanor's that are dealt with in the services by a court-martial panel, everything from petty crimes, to more serious offences and yet rarely do they make the press.
But because this case involved nudity - shock horror!!!! the press found it news worthy!
Our society equates the naked body with sex and sex sells, so this story becomes titilation to the masses!
