Ok, so I'll be the one to say it. It seems to me that no one who's commented here served in the military. The threats that were given to this women are horrific, yes, she didn't deserve any of them. That being said, she should have never taken that picture, regardless of what excuse she had for taking it. And that being said, she should have known better than to post on social media. And that being said, she should have known about privacy settings. This is equivalent to walking around shouting racist terms on the streets and hiding behind free speech after someone attacks you. She didn't ask for any of the threats she received, but she also had exceptionally poor judgement.
- joesmo 12y agoShe has a different sense of humor. To compare that to racism is absolutely ridiculous. Racism has negative intention. The picture and her sense of humor don't. The only reason it was poor judgement is that she didn't account for the politically correct idiots of this world making a big deal out of it. The rest of your points about not posting to social media are quite valid.

Most know better & keep their mouths shut since it serves no purpose to further fan the flames, even if it is something disrespectful - that is part of what it means to serve. All in the Armed Forces know that they help defend the right for people to say/do what they want, as long as it is lawful.
