LETTERS, Page 7Bimbo Art
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.
