His sister is the real hero
2004-05-20
WHILE actor Hugh Jackman has been vanquishing vampires in his latest blockbuster movie, his little sister has been hunting real-life terrorists in Iraq. Fighting evil ... while Hugh Jackman battles vampires in Transylvania, his sister is fighting in Iraq. The Van Helsing star's sister has just completed a tour of duty as a corporal in military intelligence. Sydney-born Jackman said he was terrified for her safety because she was deployed to some of Iraq's most dangerous areas. "My youngest sister has been fighting in the Gulf," Jackman said. "She's in intelligence but I can't tell you any more than that. She couldn't tell me where she was but she was in a regiment which got reported on quite a bit in the press. I've read she was just outside Baghdad. She's 11 years younger than me and she's officially my half sister, but I count her as my sister. She went into the army at 22 and graduated after basic training as the top recruit. She also won another award as the best sniper."

#3  And now they know to target his sister because she's a good sharp-shooter.

#2  Didn't know they sent females to sniper school in the army. Maybe he meant the best marksman in her boot camp platoon or something.

Stray thought: I think Dr. Ruth was also one in her youth.
