#1 For some reason, the idea of women soldiers "bounding out of helicopters and stripping down to their sports bras" reminds me of those Old Milwaukee commercials with the "Swedish Bikini Team."

"When the gals from Company B of the 1/23rd got out of their Blackhawks and into their swimsuits, it got a little better . . . ."

#2 Read somewhere else (Don Sensung's weblog, I think) that the US forces have a solution to this. Our GI Janes strip to their sports bras prior to gathering up the local women for the body-searches. Apparently this not only convinces the local women that they're being searched by women, but lowers the IQ points of the local men by about 30 points, all at the same time :-)

I'll see if I can find it and post a link.

#3 And this is a country that had a female Prime Minister - Benazir Bhutto.
