youmightfindyourself: The Amazonian Guard is an elite group of 30-40 (reports differ) virginal women who are tasked with protecting the leader of Libya, Muammar al-Gaddafi. Candidates for the Amazonian Guard undergo extensive firearms and martial arts training at a special academy and must be hand picked by Gaddafi himself. Members of this elite group are allowed privileges not deemed acceptable in the Muslim world, such as dressing in Western-style fatigues and wearing makeup, or displaying Western hair styles and high heels. The existence of this elite group has created controversy as it challenges the role of women in the Muslim world. (Editor’s note: He’s like a real-life James Bond Villain!) His crazy-ass-shit speech from earlier today only further proves that this guy doesn’t need to be in power, but at least we can say he’ll probably go out in style with these ladies as his back-up.
