    The photo was taken about three years ago but didn't go viral until recently
    Cherish Byers is a staff sergeant with the 92nd Security Forces Squadron
    The Air Force is investigating the photo and could potentially discipline Byers

Double ugh! Why would she do that?  She is in the military, and what if she happened to end up being MIA? Would she want anyone, let alone her military peers disrespect her like that?

In Obama's Air Force, I have no doubt she'll soon be promoted to Senior NCO, if not 2nd Lieutenant.
