What a Woman!

What A Woman!



This 19 year old ex-cheerleader (now an Air Force Security Forces Sniper) was watching a road that led to a NATO military base when she observed a man digging by the road. She engaged the target (i.e., 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 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 went through his butt 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!

A little defensive there, arnt'cha?

Pointing out that a story is fiction instead of the truth is hardly "trashing" your fellow human beings. :lol:

Don't post BS stories and then nobody will call you out on it. ;)

Whether the story is tue or not makes no difference. The fact is that snipers are saving the lives of soldiers every day. If there is a young lady in any of the armed forces that is doing the job, good for her. When and if some bomb making hajji gets his ass blasted out his mouth, thats even better.

Yep make sure your story is true because some people have made it their mission in life to "openly" trash anyone that unwittingly posts something that might not be accurate....... God forbid....

I'm not saying their assessment of this isn't true but for the record, Snopes is a small Mom and Pop operation and hardly a legitimate unbias source.
