BoM x 2, BoY 2011
this had one of those motivational type pictures of a young female in the military sighting through a scope, with the title the real miss america. (couldn't copy the pic for some reason). thought the caption was pretty cool. it will probably be in your inbox soon anyway.
The real Miss America .
This 19 year old ex-cheerleader now an Air Force Security Forces Sniper,was watching a road that led to a NATO military base when she observed a man digging by the road.
She engaged the target (she shot him). It turned out he was a bomb maker for the Taliban, and he was burying an IED that was to be detonated when a US patrol walked by 30 minutes later. It would have certainly killed and wounded several soldiers.
The interesting fact of this story is the shot was measured at 725 yards.
She shot him as he was bent over burying the bomb. The shot went through his butt and into the bomb which detonated; he was blown to pieces. The Air Force made a motivational poster of her.
(Folks , that's a shot 25 yards longer than seven football fields) And the last thing that came out of his mouth ... was his ass!
