- As a woman who spent five years in the Air Force, I was
- appalled by your item about the cartoons of women that decorate
- some American B-52 bombers (NATION, Dec. 5). The Air Force makes
- a concerted effort to educate service members about sexual
- discrimination and its negative impact. Yet it proudly displays a
- half-naked woman on a bomber! Why not paint half-nude men on these
- planes?

- If the military does not forbid this juvenile display, then I
- suggest that every bimbo have the face of the pilot's mother.

- I'm a taxpayer who helps foot the bill for these aircraft, and
- I resent their being decorated with insulting caricatures of the
- female gender.
