WTF! Photos of dog-masked soldiers in bondage gear while in uniform under investigation.

WASHINGTON – Soldiers who wore bondage gear and dog masks in sexually explicit photos while in uniform are under investigation, the Army confirmed Monday.

The photos, which have appeared on social media, show male soldiers in uniform, or parts of uniforms, wearing dog masks, leather and chains. Some of the photos depict poses of submission and sexual acts. Another photo shows a soldier in combat fatigues wearing the dog mask on an airfield. 

Some of the photos appeared on Twitter Friday. The soldiers are based in Hawaii.

Internal Pentagon email traffic obtained by USA TODAY shows Army officials believed some of the photos appear to have been taken at a base gym in Hawaii. The source of the email was not authorized to release it. The email notes that reactions to the photos has been "hyper politicized."

... wearing of the uniform during cosplay. And the embarrassment when these photos show up at an inconvenient time in their future.

Like when they need a security clearance or bonding or running for office or in a contentious breakup of a relationship.

Not that any thought of that kept me from doing goofy things when I was young and oblivious to a future.

He was a colonel, 0-6 and had two captains 0-3 as his pups.

(And for those who weren’t in the military) That’s breaking a couple of military laws.

That wasn’t in the article

... he's young but has 20 years in, and he's resigned.

I don't imagine the enlisted under him are looking at much more than reduction of rank and some forfeiture of pay.
