Afghan man shot after being accused of adultery!

.......... yeah, right!  That headline will never happen. 

When an Afghan woman gets accused of adultery she gets shot.  What about the man she supposedly committed adultery with?  Isn't he equally guilty as well?  Shouldn't he be shot in the same manner? 

What do you think?

Khatool Mohammadzai. Afghan Female Paratrooper!

This is the first i've ever heard of this woman!  She was a paratrooper in the Afghan military for 28 years and made more than 600 jumps.


Then the Taliban came to power and suddenly she was stuck at home, or under a burqa with severence pay of $13 a month. 

So, the next time you think all women wearing burqas are alike - keep her in mind. 


And yes, she did earn all of those medals.  She was a Colonel when the Taliban stopped her military career.  She has since been promoted to General, but I heard that she has been assigned to a desk job.  ..... hm.
