LACKLAND AFB, TX — In an attempt to cut down on sexual assault in its ranks, the Air Force has ordered its recruiters to stop driving their familiar yellow "Pussy Wagon" pickup trucks immediately, Pentagon officials said Friday.

The move comes on the heels of a string of high-profile sex scandals, with the most recent being the arrest of Lt. Col. Jeff Krusinski, the chief of the Air Force sexual assault prevention unit, for alleged sexual assault.

"We are absolutely committed to the safety and security of all our personnel," Air Force spokesperson Capt. Mark Robinson said. "We came to our decision after some concern at the Pentagon that our 'Pussy Wagon' fleet might be sending the wrong message to the public regarding our stance on sexual assault and sexual harassment."

"I personally don't see it," Robinson added.

Pentagon casualties, metric improvement, and Fat Leonard’s least dignified phase.

A State Department map that relocated most of Africa, one ambitious government travel card, and 5,200 medical students moved from dorms that definitely do not have mold.
