Rep. Ackerman: ‘A Platoon Of Lesbians’ Could ‘Chase Us Out Of Baghdad’

2. Sounds more like fantasy that guys would have instead of something scary
Kind of like one of the scenes from Monty Python's, "The Meaning of Life," where a man sentenced to death gets to choose his method of execution, and he chooses to be chased by about a dozen naked women wearing nothing but running shoes and helmets. Unfortunately for him, he's never caught; they chase him off a cliff instead.

4. Armed drag queens would be better
Hell hath no fury like a pissed off drag queen, and a lot of homophobes are more afraid of them than of lesbians. Give them sensible shoes, fabulously accessorized helmets, glittering weapons and watch out for your life! ;-)

6. Eddie Izard has a skit about a transvestite platoon that
conquers all it's enemies by taking them by surprise.
