Or rather one woman and one gun…
Good friend (and hero) Lonnie emailed me this. With all the negative imagery regarding the young today, I thought this might be better.
And, besides, women and guns, DUH! 
The REAL Miss America
There’s a Proud Papa out there somewhere.

This 19 year old ex-cheerleader now an Air Force Security Forces Sniper, was watching a road in Pakistan that led to a NATO military base when she observed a man digging by the road. She engaged the target (she shot him). It turned out he was a bomb maker for the Taliban, and he was burying an IED that was to be detonated when a U.S. 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 went through his rectum and into the bomb which detonated; he was blown to pieces. The Air Force made a motivational poster of her. (Folks, that’s a shot 25 yards longer than seven football fields)
If You Can Not Stand Behind Our Troops, please Feel Free To Stand In Front Of Them!

First thought: “Women and Guns”…are dangerous when PMSing.
Second thought: I shouldn’t giggle at the way he died but I am…

Posted by guffaw1952 | October 26, 2012, 4:02 pmWell, I see someone already beat me to the “wrecked ‘em” joke. As to the rest, let’s see now…hot chick (ex cheerleader), check…guns, check…amusingly accurate rifle fire, check…yeah, I’m betting there will be a long line of guys waiting to stand behind that soldier. Not too many wanting to stand in front though.
