| #4 I think I'll keep my weapon, thank you. Never know when I'll run into Uncle Mullah in the street and have to cut him in half with it. |

| #3 Most likely they'd be butchered anyway somewhere down the line simply because they show 'initiative' and self empowerment. At least with the training they have a good chance to take out some of the troglodytes in one last act of defiance rather than going down like sheep. More power to them. |

| #2 I hope the feckless, liberal, womens rights and equality crowd along with the US female trainers realize they are training the walking dead. As SOON as the US leaves, these poor souls will be butchered like goats. |

| #1 the girls began 20 weeks of training in the military basics – uniforms, drill, formation, weapons (although they will not be carrying firearms on a daily basis), WTF? their uniforms will just make them better targets unless they carry weapons at all times. Who came up with that bright idea? Zahra Bayat: 'When I decided to join the army, my immediate family were pleased for me but my uncle, who is a mullah, thinks I have shamed the family. He told me that if he sees me in the street he will kill me.' There is something rather important missing in this story. |
