Woman in the Chinese military

We’ve all seen what women look like when they are angry.  Well, add a military uniform, give them a weapon or two, make them look Chinese, and look out.  These are not your grandfather’s soldiers.  The following are some amazing photos that tell a very different story of the modern Chinese military.

These are not the kind of ladies you’d want to meet in a dark alley.  Chinese military women are fierce, loyal, and willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish their mission.  They fight with their heart, their body, and every ounce of strength they can muster.
