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).
Check out the video:
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).

sorry baby dont bring a sword to a gun fight or a pair of num chuks 5.56/308 or 50 cal will just ruin your day and its so tough to get a blood stain out of a berka so there ya go nuf said
They're only a few hundred years behind in tactics.
The women in Iran wear clothes similar to this walking about everyday.
So, it stands to reason, they practice and train in what they will be associated.
It just happens that 16th century ninjitsu night time uniforms look the same.
Now when you enter into their enviroment. You stand out like a neon light in your combat BDUs.
The rules to engage the enemy restrict you from using your 5.56, 308, or 50 Cal on general population.
So you can’t scatter gun a mass of people to get at one in particular.
Like the British unable to attack the American Colony full force in the 1700s.
And that puts you only about a few hundred years behind in tatics.
Attacks will be upclose in daylight, body bombs or suicide bombers as you call them.
Don’t even comtemplate after dark conditions and trying to walk a night patrol.
Meanwhile the men are deployed on the conventional fields of combat.
I hope the upper chain of command is not making stupid jokes.
And looking to avoid another chasing shadows in the jungles of Vietnam type atmosphere.
