We don’t see too many American babes, but these girls, busy crushing terrorists and tyrants and bringing democracy to Iraq, will definitely do. Who said liberation had to be ugly?

This photo montage came about when people at Free Republic started examining the faces of U.S. female soldiers who were among a Minnesota troop contingent that came up with a hilarious smackdown gag photo, directed at a certain French-looking swell of a politician named John Kerry who thought all U.S. soldiers were dumb.

The photo they took (below), with their grinning faces on it, rocketed around the world, and was seen by at least 20 million people, forcing Kerry to apologize.

I get the sense that the experience of hearing from soldiers in the battlefield itself, as a key voice in the national political debate, in a humorous swift barb, is something historically new. It is a true sign of the deep reach of the Internet no matter where we are or what we are doing. Even if we are on a battlefield, the Internet ensures that we too have a voice in the national debate.

Was there ever a greater time to be alive? This realization may be one of the most pivotal developments in this war in Iraq.
