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) and the last thing
that came out of his mouth ... was his ass!
If You Can Not
Stand Behind Our Troops, please Feel Free To Stand In
Front Of Them!!!!!

Ain't freedom a great thing!!!!!?

Snipers are a combat unit. Women (as far as I'm aware) cannot be in combat units.

I'm not saying women can't be snipers (in the general sense) but they can't be one in the US military, even if they are proficient with a rifle at long distances.

As far as that motivational poster goes:

That's Senior Airman Polly-Jan Bobseine out of Moody Air Force base in Georgia
