American Women Can Win This War !

Here is the plan:

• Take all American women who are +/- 5 years of menopause.
• Train us for a few weeks, outfit us with weapons, uniforms, gas masks, Prozac, hormones, chocolate, Spam, support hose, and lipstick.
• Drop us (parachuted, preferably) across the landscape of Afghanistan, and let us do what comes naturally.

Think about it:

Our anger quotient alone, even when doing standard stuff like grocery shopping and paying bills, is formidable enough to make even men in turbans tremble.

We have had our children, we would gladly die/suffer to protect them and their future.

Most of us would like to get away from our husbands, if they haven't left already.

And for those who are single, the prospect of finding a good man with whom to share life is about as likely as being struck by lightning; therefore, we have nothing to lose.

Let us go and fight!

The Taliban hates women. Imagine their terror as we crawl like ants with hot-flashes all through their godforsaken terrain.

I'm going to write my Congressman.

You should, too.

I'm too young, but I'd be willing to go when I'm having PMS. Don't cross me then, I'm liable to rip someone's head off. Great post, thanks for the ping.

You betcha - I'd be in the Geezerette Corps!

I love being pampered and protected... Just call me, Princess! I admit it...I am a CAP Conservative American Princess

Count me in. Just tell me they said I look good for my age...

Hey - Thanks for posting this link. I tried to get back on FR last night, after I got home from school, but I think they had a crash. Anyway...I just got a chance to look at the thread this morning. I will send it around.

btw: I remember that my dad was in the Tonkin Gulf during VietNam, too. He was on a destroyer called the USS DUNCAN. He was a "fire control technician" (or some-such-title), and he retired in '79 as a chief warrant officer.

You're laughing? I am serious!

;-)

Honestly, when I first read the email...I thought, "YES! This would be great."

But then I remembered how I tried to chase my dog down the alley this summer, as she chased a squirrel, while I was running like the wind (on a calm day) I turned my ankle and fell to the ground like a rock.

I can just see me trying to run across the mountains of Afghanistan. Hey! Maybe the military could drop me off on the top of a mountain, I could trip and tumble down, and start an avalanche that would destroy a Taliban encampment. Yeah! That would work.

[ResistorSister]

Nothing like a little gallows humor.

That is exactly how I think!

[ResistorSister]

Just tell me they said I look good for my age...

They will tell us that we look good for our age!

and...

...our double chins are a sign of wisdom.
