I'm really glad that she is on our side.

  A story with a happy ending!


The ex-cheerleader (age 19) and now an Air Force Security Forces Sniper in this picture was watching a road that led to a NATO military base when she observed a man digging by the road. She engaged the target, and she shot him. Turned out he was a bomb maker for the Taliban and he was burying an IED that was to be detonated when a US patrol walked by 30 minutes later. It would have certainly killed and wounded several soldiers.


The interesting fact of this story is the shot was measured at 725 yards. She shot him as he was bent over burying the bomb. The shot struck him in the behind, blowing into the bomb, which detonated. He was blown to pieces. The Air Force made a motivational poster of her.


(Folks, that's a shot taken 25 yards longer than seven football fields!!)

I WOULD SAY THAT SHE IS A CRACK SHOT (No Pun Intended)

BrianX said...: Yeah, I don't even really see the point. She's a good soldier and an expert shot -- the simple fact that she has a combat post would seem to mute the wingnutness of the post somehow, wouldn't it?; 13 January, 2009 10:56
Falyne said...: The motivational poster is a bit off, though. Almost seems to be making fun of her...?; 13 January, 2009 11:18
SJT said...: Well, like most wingnut posts, this one has heavy doses of fiction:

What wingnuts really like about this "story" is the thought of a sweet little girl shooting a dirty evil Muslim man in the ass without a second thought.; 13 January, 2009 11:20
Potato Head said...: Yes, it's another fanciful Jennifer Lynch story of American womanhood taking it to Ahmed and coming out with her virginity intact. In case you wonder what the wingnuts really see when they look at her, just check out the "unintended pun" (yeah, right) at the end. Who cares who she actually is as a person? Let's just put her on a pedestal to the glories of Woman, aka a vagina with legs.

Raises the interesting question of how much more equal her status would in wingnut land versus Arab culture. I bet that somewhere in the Middle East there are posters of female suicide bombers with copy to the same effect. After all, we all knew that sex and death are a potent combination for certain men.; 14 January, 2009 12:11
