Why did the military stop painting ships with things like girls, killroy and teeth?|||i'm sure the liberals will blame bush|||Welcome to the modern age where policial correct pansies now rule the modern military.
The military seems less and less concerned with troop morale as they do with compliance. Too many times i've seen some joke of an officer or chief in charge that is disrupting a good unit all because he has rank and no one wants to tell him off.
Pin ups disappeared in the open probably due to more women serving and whines against sexism, but in general they just keep the paint jobs to dull , boring , regulation.
But once in a while you can paint a symbol for the unit on the side of something as long as its in good taste.|||The pinups were only allowed during WWII for moral boost for the GI. The shark teeth for the Cobra helicopter during Vietnam era. Most of the paintings come from different war periods. Painting on aircraft during war is more lax.|||You don't like these?

You have to get out on the airfield and see them, though, the public affairs office isn't going to disseminate photographs of them.|||you want military aircraft to have LOW radar
fancy %26amp; shiny paint isn't good for radar
flat dull paint is better for radar|||Because we're too busy fighting a war this... And we are already $13 Trillion in debt... Would you like to add to that for some extra paint, and wasted man hours???|||political correctness killed all the fun.|||p c
