The Real Miss America ............

This 19 year old ex-cheerleader now an Air Force Security Forces Sniper, was watching a road in Pakistan that led to a NATO military base when she observed a man digging by the road.

She engaged the target (she shot him).

It turned out he was a bomb maker for the Taliban, and he was burying an IED that was to be detonated when a U.S. patrol walked by 30 minutes later. It would have certainly killed and wounded several soldiers.

The interesting fact of this story is the shot was measured at 725 yards. (That's a shot 25 yards longer than seven football fields).

She shot him as he was bent over burying the bomb.

The shot went through him and into the bomb which detonated; he was blown to pieces.

The Air Force made a motivational poster of her.
