    How many females do you see anayalizing all of those videos and photos, etc. ? Supposedly a woman will see something that a male misses.

    I have a friend who's a little older than I that I first met during the early 80's. He was an airman in the USAF back during the early and mid 1960's, a linguist who fluently spoke, read and wrote six foreign languages, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Berber and Arabic. He was stationed for a couple years at USAF bases in North Africa (Morocco and Libya)

    His stories about North Africa were interesting but the best was when he was stationed at a SAC base in the CONUS. One night he's in town drinking beer at some bar. Well he gets the crap beat out of him by the town bully. He was in the hospital a few day. A few weeks later he checks out a .45 pistol from the armory, goes into town and shoots the town bully dead.

    He returns to base and returns the .45 to the armory.

    A day or two later this Air Force officer who happened to be the OD that day that the shooting took place was reading the newspaper about the murder. He started connecting the dots, same bar, same airman who checked out the pistol was the same airman who got the crap beaten out of him at the same bar. So the officer dropped a dime on the airman.

    The airman was found not guilty in court in fact he was looked upon as a hero for killing the town bully.

    The airman doesn't ship over after his tour of duty in the Air Force. The CIA goes after him and offers him a job. His job was for eight hours a day, five days per week was just reading foreign publications, newspapers, magazines and foreign published books with a highlighter in his hand.

    Females comprise about 19% of the USAF intelligence community. Overall, there are more women in the Air Force, as a percentage of the total, than any other branch of the services. Most specialties don't require what could be termed as "heavy lifting."

    Ironically, this was taken at Al Udeid AFB a year or so before I got there. Some of us were talking about it when I was there and one of the Airmen actually knew who she was. Apparently she got in some unofficial trouble for the shot.
