Alright, who authorized THIS anti-terror unit?

[ScorpioVI]

Be scared, be very scared of the flying nuns.

 

[ScorpioVI]

Just kidding. They're Iranian female special police, in burkhas.

 

[mbs357]

Erm.
K?

 

[ScorpioVI]

Sorry, I'm easily amused!

 

[jamz]

I saw that on the news ths morning!

Funniest thing I've seen in a long time, that group of women in nunlike garb rappelling down the side of the building. I felt like I was watching a Monty Python skit!

Is that real? I thought Iranian women were oppressed? They don't look oppressed.

 

[BondageJaguar]

Unless you know all the information you can't claim that Iranian women aren't oppressed. Perhaps they have a multi-class society? they may all in fact be the daughters of tribal leaders? Who knows.

 

[Rebeldon]

They still look oppressed to me.

 

[LiquidTension]

I wonder how that tactical garb would do in hand to hand combat

 

[Remington788]

Just think of the concealment options they have.

I bet you could hide an m-60 under there.

 

[Wingshooter]

I wonder how that tactical garb will do when the loose robes get caught in their descender. I've had that happen with a t-shirt that fit too loose, you're just a sitting duck until you can pull yourself out.

 

[Preacherman]

Gives an entirely new meaning to the term "wall-hanger"...

THIS is the Sisterhood Anti-Terror Unit:

"NOBODY expects the Span-- oh, bugger!"

 

[Selfdfenz]

Iranian "repellers" is ex-Actly right!!!!

wheeeeeeeew


Dang! Um. Lordy..


S-

 

[Darkmind]

Ghetto style!

 

[Hardtarget]

I think they're oppressed...distressed... repressed...and over dressed...

Darkmind that is HILARIOUS!


What is the deal with Irianen female special police? What do they do that the regular special police can't do?

Handle situations that require a female touch?

 

[Standing Wolf]

Gives an entirely new meaning to the term "wall-hanger"...

...or "wall-banger," as the case may be.

One sincerely hopes these ladies aren't among the famous 72 virgins.

 

[garrettwc]

Darkmind, I think the one on the left is not "ghetto style" but "Israeli style". Which is ironic if you think about it.

 

[Joejojoba111]

I don't think they're opressed, it's just a different culture. They have a legitimat constitution and elections, and they had a female Head of State before the USA which probably never wil). Actually besides in super lame movies I don't think females are in any SWAT teams in North America or Europe.

So they make women wear robes, we make women wear shirts and pants, seems like a trivial difference. I wanted the law to let women go topless to pass, but it didn't. Women could be jogging shirtless as we speak

But why do they need MP5's? Is there an international law that any special unit must acquire MP5's?

Also remember Seinfeld? In the future like Star Trek everyone would wear the same thing because it's so much easier, no need for shopping and matching and planning outfits

I didn't think this was real but then I googled it some and came up with this:

I guess they are part of a new woman police squad to deal with female suspects and female crimales. Intresting to say the least.

As far as every police force using mp5s... I don't know maybe cause they are good gun, compact, easy to use, and look awsome.....

 

[Gifted]

I guess they are part of a new woman police squad to deal with female suspects and female crimales.

Considering the culture, I'd agree. Having male cops dealing with female criminals over here isn't too bad, but over there, there'd be scandal just with having a man present. With a female unit, you don't have to worry.

 

[fistful]

Joe Ball, I will try very hard not to scream insults regarding your ability to think coherently.

I don't think they're opressed, it's just a different culture....So they make women wear robes, we make women wear shirts and pants, seems like a trivial difference.

Lovely how everything is ok if it's just a different culture. Our horrible culture here in America makes women cover their erogenous zones. How terrible. Go to the mall or the beach sometime this summer and look at what the girls are not wearing. Then look at these pictures again and tell us the difference is trivial. And where is it you live that women are forced to wear shirts and pants? My fiancee couldn't live there; she refuses to wear anything but skirts, blouses, dresses, etc.

They have a legitimat constitution and elections

Yeah, if a legitimate constitution is one where the Ayatollah has most of the power. I'd list his perogatives, but my handy-dandy guide to Iran is packed away right now. In the process of moving - sorry.

and they had a female Head of State before the USA which probably never wil). Actually besides in super lame movies I don't think females are in any SWAT teams in North America or Europe.

God bless America!! Let our men be men and protect the women, for crying out loud. Sending women into the teeth of combat is progress?

Darkmind, I think the one on the left is not "ghetto style" but "Israeli style".

I don't know what is Israeli style; I thought it was a malfunction drill.

 

[bogie]

I concur - The israeli method is darn near as fast as cocked and locked, and a lot safer.
