Britians 1st Female attack helo pilot-KILLER!!

The "SUN" article header reads:

"I’ve killed more than Harold Shipman, Jack The Ripper and Myra Hindley put together"

Source: www.thesun.co.uk...

Now, after reading this I thought... Damm.... you go girl. Then I got to thinking.... Sad.... our childrens mothers-our societies glue...MOMS etc... I don't want them killing or in war etc.

Sure they can do it but do we want them to do it? Looking forward to some good discussions on this topic. Especially from the ladies and their perspective.

PS: BUT, if we are going to use woman in combat etc---I hope they all appear as the one in the article.... determined and looking good while doing it..... (personal thought there---)

oh my....
second line...

Now this sounds more like the old days of Anglo-Saxon/Celtic women kicking some ass

I have no issue with women in combat beyond this:

A woman being captured by the enemy will be raped repeatedly and potentially enslaved while becoming just a MIA.

I disagree with any side sending women into combat strictly because of that, not because they are incapable.

Unless the entire world unanimously agreed that women will make up 50% of all militarys to keep men in check, then its going to be a brutal thing...not to say that women cant or wont do horrible things to men when they are captured (Abu Dhabi)...Do we need to open up this box of bee's? Maybe we do if only to get the facts down

I'm not sure whether a person stands up or sits down to have a piss really matters. At the end of the day, it's one person killing another and that's something that no gender really has a monopoly over and is equally capable of.

As another poster has pointed out, it's not as if it's not in keeping with other/past cultures either. It's only our modern social mores that say this shouldn't happen.

Feh- women have been destroying lives forever. This one got famous enough to get some moron to write a book about her.

Picture or it didn't happen!! mOAR !! Just getting dirty thoughts in my mind if she is this rough on field ..........

To me, what stands out here is that quote about killing more people than 3 murderers put together. Is comparing yourself to them supposed to be a good thing? Is this something to be proud of? I know its what she is out there to do, as is everyone else, but it seems rather sick.

I thought the same thing, glorifcation of murdering people doesn't sit too well with me. I'm not a big fan of the war propaganda in general.

You appear to have thought it quite a bit...

I wonder if she killed any enemy soldiiers or are all her kills civilians? It seems like the ratio of combatants to civilians killed is different from any war before. I would not be so proud of killing babies.

What? Killing babies? Civilians? I didn't see anything like that. I am sure she wouldn't be proud of killing them either. I did read where she went after suspected RPG attackers in the woods near a recent attach.

But, I will say-along what you stated, that is why I posted the story. As I said, You go Girl was my first thought etc but when you really think about it, what would we (as the human race) do/feel about a female being put into a postition where something like that may occur and would we want them killing anything...

I have no problem with women in combat, as long as they know what combat is. I do however, have a problem with the way we are waging war. Instead of getting on the ground and looking for the enemy we are having our sexy women fire into trees. There are civilians in those trees. Men used to be be more brave, but now we just have women firing blindly for us.

She's from Oz, mate....

I'm going to have to vote for "not-hot" on this one. Killer broads are usually ugly
