The stuff my fantasies are made of

It’s like the Army hacked into my Pr0n (Stars & Stripes link);

The Army still bars women from fighting in combat units. But some women are trying to break that barrier far from the front lines — by battling male soldiers in chain-link cages against a backdrop of strobe lights, thumping music and swirling smoke.

The slugfests resemble ultimate fighting, a staple of pay-per-view television, right down to the black wire cages and throat-constricting holds with names like “the guillotine” and “the rear naked choke.”

The Army says the eight-sided enclosure simulates fighting in a small room and helps develop skills that soldiers sometimes need to subdue foes rather than kill them.

I know there are more than a few women out there who would like to get me in a steel cage and pound the living shit out of me. Believe me when I tell you that I want that, too. You have no idea.

I’m proud of these warrior women for walking the walk of equality. But, I’m pretty sure that people who call themselves feminists are opposed to it, because the women involved are acting like men, rather than trying to get men to act more like women. And the one in the picture above is kinda cute.

One woman made it to the finals. But at least three female fighters were carried out on stretchers. Others limped to a green canvas tent that served as a first-aid station. One fighter burst into tears, upset that a referee had halted her fight before she felt beaten.

Good for them, and good for the Army to disregard the impending criticism.
