Marine Corps Times writer/editor/word-ninja Tony Lombardo writes about why the Marine Corps is interested in this tiny -- but fierce -- Swedish female bodybuilder:
You've probably seen her picture — sporting serious pythons, rock-hard abs, camouflage pants and an expression that says, "I can destroy you."
This image of Pauline Nordin went viral after someone used it as a mock Marine Corps recruiting poster. Below her photo is the following message: "U.S. Marines. We turn girls into women and women into leathernecks."
Nordin is a native of Sweden who lives in Los Angeles and makes a living as a fitness expert. She's a former bodybuilder and trained the winner on the Scandinavian version of "The Biggest Loser." She is not, nor was she ever, a Marine.
