Imagine what happens when forces used to women in burqas encounter these Israeli soldiers! Maybe they’ll find peace after they discover their common interest; the hots for anything blonde with a tush. If anyone knows that reference, I’ll be amazed. ---

If they fought, someone might get hurt. “There’s a shortage of perfect women in the world; 'twould be a pity to injure them.” No, no, no - they’d each invade at one corner and then spend a lot of time parading around in skimpy clothes. I’d obviously need to enter 007-mode to infiltrate their camps… _yeah, I’ll be in my bunk_ ---

You know, I went out googling to see if I could stick up for the USA, but all I could find was a tiny thumbnail of some woman straddling a bomb in ACUs and a bikini top, a topless chick with a belt of 5.56 ammo and a M249, and a couple of nude chicks painted up in USMC stuff. However, I did run across this, which bolsters the case for the Ukrainians… [![](http://shoeblogs.com/wordpress/images/ukrainian_army1.jpg) ](http://shoeblogs.com/wordpress/images/ukrainian_army1.jpg) ---

Why are we wasting time waiting for them to invade us? I say we invade them, and surrender before shots can be fired. Based on pics I’d choose Israel, but those folks are VERY quick on the trigger, so I’m heading for the Ukraine! I’m guessing I can survive long enough to surrentder and undergo a cavity search. ---
