Re: Navy using targets shaped like Muslim women
I'm sorry, but it is ridiculous to oppose this because the target is female. Is it *just* that, or is it also that the target is wearing a "hijabi?"
Are you opposed to female targets in general? Or just Muslim ones?

I think he just opposes shooting at women.

Re: Navy using targets shaped like Muslim women
Both. Thanks for asking. It bothers me somehow. Have some cream and sugar with that.

In fairness to the Navy SEALs, something being bothersome doesn't make it wrong or immoral.

Re: Navy using targets shaped like Muslim women
I'm quite sure that if they were tagging bun-heads your feelings would change. That's just an idle opinion (speculation only) though.

You shouldn't be so sure of your opinions.  I really couldn't care less if they put up a target of a Pentecostal woman holding an assault rifle.

Unfortunately, the military can face a variety of threats; men, women, and even children with weapons. They have to be prepared to take them out if necessary.
I'm all for our military behaving with dignity and I was disgusted with the urinating on corpses, horrible posed pictures of prisoners, etc. This is not even remotely similar to that. This is training with a real purpose behind it. It's necessary and it's realistic. It's too bad that the politically correct nonsense suppresses common sense.

Re: Navy using targets shaped like Muslim women
In the future, I will reference and flag any threads in which I DISAGREE with MS Bratti. Unless I say otherwise I say "Yea and Amen" to all her posts.

Re: Navy using targets shaped like Muslim women
Idle speculation only = not necessarily an opinion. Perhaps you should be less sure of yours.
Either way, this thing bothered me thus triggered a (rare) posted topic.

Re: Navy using targets shaped like Muslim women
They have to practice with all kinds of targets, with and without weapons. Seconds count to save their lives as well as their buddies.
