A couple of them are cuties. But the one on the far right in the front row? As Austin Powers would say, “that’s a man, baby!”

I sometimes wonder if any women at all post In Here ? If they did, I am not sure how some of us would get away with the occasional sexist comment that occurs. I agree with deepseapilot - looking at the scores and higher decorations, it is hard to object to the notion that, given the chance, "the female of the species is deadlier than the male". By the way - I quite like the look of Guard Lieutenant Belobrova but - given her 70 kills - I am not sure I would like to have an argument with her as to who puts out the trashcans … Best regards, JR.
