Default The Triple-D Brigade (aka Gaddafi's Amazonian Guard)

With the aparent fall of Gaddafi, I woner if the new government will keep the "The Triple-D Brigade" or not...

The Amazonian Guard (also "the Amazons") is an unofficial name given by Western journalists to an all-female elite cadre of bodyguards officially known as al-rāhibāt al-thawriyyāt "The Revolutionary Nuns", and sometimes also unofficially called "the Green Nuns," tasked with protecting the former leader of Libya, Muammar al-Gaddafi.

The group was formed in the early 1980s, after Gaddafi's official resignation as Libyan head of state in favour of the title of "Brotherly Leader and Guide of the First of September Great Revolution of the Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya". This came as a surprise, as Gaddafi was known for his misogynistic outbursts during the 1970s, and in his Green Book he had made clear that he saw the role of women confined to housekeeping and motherhood.

Gaddafi reportedly employed a cadre of female bodyguards because he believed that an Arab gunman would have difficulty firing at women. But it has also been submitted that Gaddafi's female bodyguards are in reality just an aspect of the dictator's well-known eccentric showmanship and his fondness of surrounding himself with young women.

Candidates for the Amazonian Guard undergo extensive firearms and martial arts training at a special academy, must take an oath of chastity, and must be hand-picked by Gaddafi himself. Members of this bodyguard are allowed privileges such as dressing in Western-style fatigues and wearing makeup, or displaying Western hair styles and high heels.

Libyan sources claimed that in June 1998, one of Gaddafi's female bodyguards was killed and seven other wounded when Islamic fundamentalists in Libya ambushed the Colonel's motorcade. It was claimed that the dead guard, Aisha, was Gaddafi's favourite and threw herself across Gaddafi's body to stop the bullets.

In November 2006, as Gaddafi arrived at Abuja airport, Nigeria, with a 200-strong troop of heavily armed bodyguards, a diplomatic incident was caused as security officials tried to disarm them. Gaddafi furiously walked away, gesturing that he intended to cover the 40 km to the capital on foot, and could only be persuaded to yield after intervention by Nigerian president Olusegun Obasanjo, who happened to be at the airport by chance.

I also thought they where more a personal harem than a bodyguard. Call me cynical but a guywith that much power, surrounded by beutiful "guards" and you are telling me he didn't take advantage of their devotion and loyalty?

Chastity? What's that all about.
Smacks of a "harem" attitude to me...

As far as men not being willing to shoot at women, my mother (yes, my mother) taught me an important lesson long ago: if the person attacking you is a girl, you still take them down. (Boy, that started a hellacious fight between my mother and stepmonster not long after they were married, and I followed her advice...)

And think about this: just how well could women really fight with triple-D-sized breasts? I's think they'd a detriment to martial arts, shouldering a firearm, using a pistol with anything but a one-hand straight-arm-from-the-shoulder stance, they'd get in the way in the cockpit if they were trying to fly a helicopter, no body armor would fit, and just imagine the nightmare of them trying to lie prone...

If you don't mind an FNG adding his two cents to the thread...well, those "Triple D's" could have a use. If the guards happen to be on a boat out at sea and it gets sunk, they could use them as a pair of flotation devices.

I love Amazons!!!!

But I like real Giantess's not just regular hot chicks in camouflage uniforms. They have to be big and strong as well as sexy to impress me. I must say if I was the ruler of a small country I would start a Strong girl eugenics program...I think I would start with Elke the Stallion as breeding stock.

I've always had that opinion. If you're intending to do me harm, expect me to defend myself to the best of my ability, regardless of what's between your legs.

So...what would be the AV of a DDD-size breast be anyway? And does it differ between natural, silicone, or saline?

I do believe Mythbusters did an experiment on the bullet stopping power of implants a while back. Turns out they're next to useless... (surprise, surprise)

It's all a matter of perspective. The implants are not intended to stop the bullet; they are intended to prevent the weapon from being fired to begin with.

There is nothing wrong with big titted women! Natural or enhanced are both great. I think the Colonel had the right idea and apparently had good taste. I'm not so sure big tits would really be a probelm for women. Lots of Muscle & Fitness women have pumped up chests and they do shit most guys would struggle with. Strippers, they move around pretty good too. Now if your talking something like the Score Magazine models that sport HHH cups and up well that maybe a issue.

Yeah you just wanna bury your face between those mega cheeks.I never got her name though. Stallion is a name for male horse. She should be called "the mare with a phat ass pair."

you are correct waiting4something!!!!

But Id really like to bury my face between mega thighs :P

I also agree that her copyrighted name is stupid. She decided to use it because stupid maI gazine writers always described her as being "built like a stallion" so she decided to use that as her stage name... it makes no sense but I guess thats how stupid people have got today.

my only complaint is she is a little short at 5,7". On the other hand she is 160 lbs. and her measurements are 36C-27-44!!!

Pehaps Schone is right in that I like women with un-natural physiques....
Caroline Welz is probably the most attractive woman to me on planet earth!

But you know what they say there is someone for everyone and I guess I just like giant girls and fat girls.....

Sorry for being OT.

I would have to say naff to the "large posterior" and I do not like the idea of a woman taller than me (and I am 6 foot even) due to the strained neck I got being polite to my cousin of looking her in the face.

But I do like this model - http://ariane-saint-amour.deviantart.com/ (note, some pictures may not show up to non-accounts).

I suppose getting back to the question that NateHale raised....has there been any info on the whereabouts of this guard? Are they still with Khaddafi? Or did they surrender along with the other units that were tasked to defend Tripoli when the rebels rolled in?

Personally I'd be a bit worried for them, the fact that they have two strikes already against them, with A: They were Khaddafi's guards, after all, something the rebels likely wont' appreciate. And B: most (not necessarily all) cultural regions of Africa and the Middle East regions don't look at assertive women in a rather favorable light...which is all rather ironic considering Khaddafi, at least for a long time was an advocate that a woman's place was squarely in the home and kitchen.

JESUS CHRIST! 5'7" is to short! I'll take mine around 5'2" anyday of the week. I don't want to be with something that can kill me at any moment of the day. This is also why chimpanzee's and tigers make terrible pets.
