“Were they witches or ninjas?”
Overlooking the P.C. aspect of it –they’re grunts ferkrisake, it’s pretty funny. While out on a patrol with Marines near Ramadi I learned that in the grunt’s eyes one can identify a female in the Iraqi countryside in two ways:
“Witches” are the older, more crotchety women that wear traditional garb, but don’t bother with a veil.
“Ninjas” are the younger women that keep their faces covered with a veil that only reveals their eyes.

Agreeing on that whole lack of PC thing, it’s pretty interesting what can be learned through observation.
Thank those boys for keeping you safe-
