I believe she was a Msgt or SFC. Yeah I suppose she got her Sniper Training the same way Scarlett got hers. Since neither can technically go to Sniper Schools as Women, they would have to be Government agents to receive that type of training. Can women even go to Ranger SChool?
The F.B.I. might train women as snipers. I don't really know. The Air Force Security Forces has started training women as snipers at some Air Force National Guard base in Arkansas. Who knows who the C.I.A. is training as Snipers.

Snake-Eyes vs. Batman? Odds? Bets? Wages?
Batman isn't supernatural and doesn't use guns so it could be a reasonable challenge. |

You should totally make that figure. Seriously, do it. I'd like to see that when you're done. That would be a great character to have in your Joeverse.

You know, it's all about demand. If the US military was engaged in a half dozen wars and was seriously hurting for soldiers, even say after bringing back a draft, and they needed ever able body, I'd bet my left toe that you'd see women rangers, snipers, SEALs, you name it.
General Westmoreland once said, "Women have no place in the Infantry or any combat role. You might find 1 in 10,000 who could do the job effectively, but she would be a freak. The Army is no place for Freaks." I tend to agree with the General.

Hard to say, but it's close. Both trained with mystic masters, secluded from civilization. Both adept at the art of stealth and illusion. Both know how to use state of the art technology. Both are silent men of the night. Both have dangerous liaisons with beautiful women. ;)

If they are fighting in Gotham City, Batman has a distinct advantage. However, anywhere else in the world - especially out in the field - Snake-Eyes would kill Batman without any hesitation.

Yeah, I may have seen this. Didn't he write a book on the subject? I don't know his rationale but I can imagine some valid reasons; however, when given the chance, women have proven to be superb atheletes, so I don't think it has to do with the physical challenges. Getting captured and tortued by the enemy, I think, has created the greatest opposition to women being in combat. No one wants to contemplate such a thing. I'm not saying they would make the best soldiers, but I just think the individual should be judged on his/her achievements and merits, not gender. That's just my humble opinion.
