I believe you and I am a veteran with many years of jungle and anti-terrorist warfare.I am pushing 72 and still ready to help Israel if the time comes to do so. You are my kind of woman. I know that I will get adverse comments to my post-but I loved zapping terrorists.

Is that you Salma?

The FBI had an opening for an assassin. After all the background checks, interviews and testing were done, there were 3 finalists; Two men and a woman. For the final test, the FBI agents took one of The men to a large metal door and handed Him a gun. 'We must know that you will follow your Instructions no matter what the circumstances. Inside the room you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Kill her!!' The man said, 'You can't be serious. I could Never shoot my wife.' The agent said, 'Then you're not the right man for this job. Take your wife and go home.' The second man was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about 5 minutes. The man came out with tears in his eyes, 'I tried, but I can't kill my wife.' The agent said, 'You don't have what it takes. Take your wife and go home.' Finally, it was the woman's turn.She was given the same instructions. She took the gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one after another. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood the woman, wiping the sweat from her brow. 'This gun is loaded with blanks' she said. 'I had to beat him to death with the chair.'

sniper at the talkbacks...

Oh, if only I weren't married to the man of my dreams .... All that -- AND -- you jammed with The Who. Does it get any better? I think not.

True Sarah, it was not a Jewish woman that slit the throat of the Fogel family, but I guarantee you it was a Jewish dirty hand that murdered El Dorra in cold blood. It was Jewish hands that murdered the sleeping children of Kana... Need I say more?

to a woman who deserves nothing but the highest respect...maybe you are jealous, because you are such a disgusting wimp ? I am just wondering...

It's how humans evolved. Mothers protect their babies, at all cost. That is why women are more ruthless than men. Men went off to club a mammoth and bring home food; women stayed back at the cave and guarded their children against predators. It is rather pitiful that you had to ask ....

Probably does have some primal origins. Always felt that women had a drive for shopping because of so many countless millenia of women having to gather & assess various food products every day when the gents trooped off from the cave to bag the big game.

Ability to lead is not an inherent quality in men, neither is strength or stamina. A woman may not have the 'natural' physique of a combat soldier, but you didn't either when you came to the army. It takes a lot of hard work and training to build strength and stamina... and being a woman doesn't mean you are less capable of these things. I commend Noy and other women in the Caracal for being a total badasses and for proving you wrong.
