Nuns With Guns

[trof]

For the first and only time in Olympic history, the Vatican City fielded teams in several events, including the Women's Rifles. The team, lead by Mother Superior Maria Grazia, didn't win any medals, but became minor celebrities. In 1937, they did an international exhibition tour of several Latin American countries and then the United States, where using the stage name Nuns With Guns they were a major attraction at the 1937 State Fairs in Iowa and Minnesota.

The Vatican decided that Nuns with Guns was not a good image for the Catholic Church, so the Vatican Women's Rifle Team was disbanded in February, 1938. Sister Juliette left to join the French resistance as a sharpshooter. She was credited with the assassination of several Nazi officials and awarded the Médaille Militaire.

4. You don't want to mess with the nuns.

You thought the nuns on the bus were tough, they got nothing on the nuns with guns.

5. Makes me think of my favorite cartoon video, "Cows with guns"!

"We will fight for bovine freedom,
And hold our large heads high!
We will run free with the buffalo
Or die!"

Now I'm not going to be able to get that song out of my mind for the rest of the day.
