There's a bit of conjecture happening on another website concerning this picture, and specifically what is he wearing on his forearms and why! Any ideas?

Came across this pic and reminded me of some of those Cotten posted recently. Sort of a similar vein. I wouldn't cross these gals! "Hell hath no fury like a women scorned". Better send their men back to them soon!

Women's machine gun squad police reserves, New York City (2).jpg

Here is the text that accompanied the picture: Women's machine gun squad police reserves, New York City. Practicing with Lewis Machine Gun which is to be sent to the front. The killing range of this gun is 2 miles and it fires 500 shots per minute. Captain Elise Reniger, manning the gun, Miss Helen M. Striffler on the rear seat, and Mrs. Ivan Farasoff driving.

All i see are a whole bunch of foolish ideas with bad endings. especially if i'm the one on a motorcycle being chased...

Yeah he does look a bit unconvinced. The guy in front is the one who ought to be worried. Hope his insurance was paid up.
