Girl Power: Ninja Assassins

Is there anything about the idea of female ninja assassins that doesn't make you think "heck yes?"  Now, what if they hailed from, say, Iran?

Is there anything about the idea of female ninja assassins that doesn't make you think "heck yes?"  Now, what if they hailed from, say, Iran?

I ran across this link on Facebook this morning during my daily time-wasting extremely important news scroll and just had to check it out. We all know that the concept of Iran can be a little, um,  scary. With their highly unpredictable regime and penchant for the weird, I personally file them squarely under "places I'm afraid my spouse will someday be forced to deploy."

(Don't lie: you were thinking it, too).

Does the existence of female Iranian ninja assassins make me any less nervous? Probably not. But it does up their "awesome" level in my mind. After all, I am a self-admitted "Alias" addict. Why doesn't the US have this?

My overactive imagination envisions me and a handfull of my MilSpouse friends leading secret ninja-assassin lives where we say we're headed to an FRG meeting, but really we put on our ninja outfits and take down the bad guys. Who needs SEAL Team 6 when you have our lethal band of black clothed MilSpouse ninja chicks?

(There's a slight possibility that I spend way too much time watching girl-power shows when my husband isn't around).

Incidentally, our friends over at Military.com's female servicemember blog agree -- girl power! (Sorry, male spouses).
