August 14, 2007: Indian villagers get anti-terror training
Yeah! You go girl! An official caption says
| Ladies of the Village Defense Committee squeeze off a few AK-47 bursts during training by the Indian army in Sariya, India. VDCs are local self-defense groups that were set up in Jammu and Kashmir in the mid-1990's following a number of massacres. The idea is to help villagers in remote areas defend themselves against terrorist attacks and intimidation. |
Another Indian co-worker mentioned that, in the old class system in India, she was of the second-highest class which is roughly the warrior class. Her ancient family history was in the military. It seemed funny because the lady in question is 5 feet tall and of a totally gentle disposition. But terrorists beware: there are hidden warriors in India, and they're armed, dangerous, and some are kinda cute as well.

Second picture...#1 Mark III Enfields...originally in .303 British...later converted to .410 single shot shotguns..... For police riot control......no magazine protruding. A nine pound shotgun in .410 is a lot to carry.

You seem disturbingly well informed about firearms....

"Colorful, and joyful female empowerment."
I guess that says it all.

That was fun, too bad Pakistan will probably nuke India when they next war each other, not necessarily as a last resort.

Oh dear, wouldn't that radiation spread over the middle east?

And it is not that I am for wiping out women and children, it is the only way I can think of to stop a religion that preaches, all non-believers must die.
(And yes I know that is an extremist view and "core" Islamic faith doesn't teach that, but my god, a selection of Islams have been interpreting it that way since the Middle Ages. It is time to shut the source of the hate-mongering down.)
DanaC Thursday Aug 16 07:11 PM
With radiation? You want to irradiate hate now?
yesman065 Thursday Aug 16 10:04 PM
Too late Coign - that cancer has already spread.
