Guns 'n' Poses

That's Not A Uniform Approach, Soldier

I reckon no nudes is good news, but everyone ain't listenin'. An unusual public relations push by Israel's New York consulate is trying to sell the country by showcasing beautiful female ex-soldiers in `Maxim', the US men's magazine. The models were photographed wearing very little in the cause of their country. Headlined ``Women of the Israel Defence Forces,'' the photo shoot was launched during the week at a glitzy event in Manhattan. But Israeli lawmaker and former diplomat Colette Avital said the shoot doesn't help Israel's image. I agree with her. There's no need to flesh out the issue.
