I thought this article would be of interest. A UN peace keeping unit in Liberia is wholly female. No males are in it's employment whatsoever.

Thoughts?

Well this will be interesting.

Well this will be interesting.
indeed

Thailand is doing the same thing with an all female ranger unit down near their south border to help deal with the insurgency there. Supposedly, it helps because people are more likely to open up to female military presence than their male counterparts.

Oh like this is going to stop instances of rape in the military. I'll bet you we'll just hear of male rape and the occasional odd female rape done by members of this squad before all too long.

I think its blantantly sexist and a bad idea.

I think its blantantly sexist and a bad idea.

So let me get this straight. An all-female army unit is sexist.

An all male ARMY is not?

Fricking Christ.

Oh, the title was the entire phrase. I was expecting somthing like:
"All female Liberian Police Force...

...required to wear miniskirts."

Wait till they engage the enemy, wearing nothing but nighties, and try to start a pillow fight... :p

It'll be the end of modern warfare as we know it.

From now on all military entanglements will be resolved with a one-hour round of Truth or Dare.

Followed by Spin the Bottle and makeovers. :D

The last thing we need is for our troops to be exchanging pedicure advice in the middle of a firefight. :p

True. So then they could have those razor sharp six-inch long nails...and cookie dough. Lots and lots of cookie dough.

After a pedicure? :eek:

Anybody else read the title as "All female librarian policeforce"? lol.

they are different situations. Its not the same.

They shush you into submission.

Ha. Read "pedicure" and somehow it got morphed into "manicure..."

*crawls under desk and hides*

I was gonna say...six-inch nails on the toes aren't nails anymore. They're talons. :p

they are different situations. Its not the same.

Explain. How is it not the same?

I think we had a thread on this around the new year, didn't we? I do like the "all-librarian" idea, though. That'll teach those warlords to keep books out past their due dates.

Yes... I was amazed, intrigued and afraid.

Aye, and we'll fill our coffers with the spoiler of war: Overdue book fines.

One has penises and the other has vaginas. Don't you see?

They shush you into submission.

"You have the right to remain...silent."

Aye, and we'll fill our coffers with the spoiler of war: Overdue book fines.

Woot! Budget balanced! Mission accomplished! Now I want all of them back on the shelves, in the right places, by the end of the day!

Pillow fights in nighties. :p

That part may not be a good idea. The last thing we need is a librarian police state.

Led, of course, by General Dewey.

That's Admiral Dewey to you. You may fire when ready, Miss Gridley.

Damn, I'm disappointed in myself now. :(

Army guys try to keep that bit quiet. Kind of an unspoken addition to the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy.

Do you know why they say "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned"? Because it's true. I forget what airline was training their stewardesses in martial arts. Some body gaurd company in China is using women to protect their clients...

People are wising up that women can kick major ass.

I was really hoping someone would take that opening. Well played, DM! :D

Yeah, this seems like quite a good idea actually.

I don't see how you could argue that they are vulnerable; they're the ones with the guns, the vulnerable people are the ones on the other end.

And I know how I used to feel every 28 days or so, and trust me, you did not want me on patrol, armed with an automatic weapon.

And Colonel Qadaffi, he famously has an all-female secret service.

Heh heh...

I believe Shaka Zulu had an all-female warrior corps, too.

Are you sure this is the news, and not a pitch for a porno?

All Horny on the Western Front?

Booooooooo

I'd like to see them take on my all female ninja harem.

You would.

You know, the one thing you are all overlooking is that these women could probably break the majority of the men on this forum in half...

Yeah, but that's one of the risk of messing with butch lesbians.


GAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA.

No, we are not fearful of a bunch of people over in Liberia.

And I know how I used to feel every 28 days or so, and trust me, you did not want me on patrol, armed with an automatic weapon.

Definitely a good idea to use women in peace-keeping forces. (How are they keeping the peace with semi-automatic weapons? Beside the point, probably.)

Then again, cramps. Ouch. Imagine you're in the middle of a firefight and suddenly you keel over with massive abdominal pain. ~_~

Meh, I'm not forgetting that. I am fully aware of my feebleness :D

You would.

:D

You would too!


Also lets not forget the famous female pirates Anne Bonny and Mary Read who would slice your throat if you looked at them funny.
Or so legend has it. *trembles*

Some more things that we are "all" overlooking: 1) The Pope, leader of the Catholic Church, is Catholic 2) President Bush is the head of the executive branch of the American government, and his seat is located in the White House in Washington and 3) Condescension is the number one form of communication on these forums.

1) He also shits in the woods, 2) he is not only the head, but the ass of it, and 3) must you really go around stating the unmistakably obvious?
