Woman in war (General Discussion)
Woman in war // General Discussion

[Please excuse the Australian origin and flavour of this, but really it
might have universal appeal :-) ]
Dear President Bush & Mr. Howard,
Take all Australian women who are within five years of menopause - train
us for a few weeks, outfit us with automatic weapons, grenades, gas masks,
moisturizer with SPF15, Prozac, hormones, chocolate & canned tuna - drop us
(parachuted, preferably) across the landscape of Afghanistan & let us do
what comes naturally.
Think about it. Our anger quotient alone, even when doing standard stuff
like grocery shopping & paying bills, is formidable enough to make even
armed men in turbans tremble.
We've had our children; we would gladly suffer or die to protect them &
their future. We'd like to get away from our husbands, if they haven't left
already. And for those of us who are single, the prospect of finding a
good man with whom to share life is about as likely as being struck by
lightning. We have nothing to lose.
We've survived the water diet, the protein diet, the carbohydrate diet & the
grapefruit diet in gyms & saunas across Australia & never lost a pound. We
can easily survive months in the hostile terrain of Afghanistan with no food
at all!
We've spent years tracking down our husbands or lovers in bars, hardware
stores, or sporting events. . ..finding bin Laden in some cave will be no
problem. Uniting all the warring tribes of Afghanistan in a new
government? Oh, please ... we've planned the seating arrangements for
in-laws & extended families at Christmas dinners for years ... we
understand tribal warfare.
Between us, we've divorced enough husbands to know every trick there is for
how they hide, launder, or cover up bank accounts & money sources. We know
how to find that money & we know how to seize it ... with or without the
government's help!
Let us go and fight. The Taliban hates women. Imagine their terror as we
crawl like ants with hot flashes over their godforsaken terrain.
Sincerely, The Mature Women of Australia
