Wasn’t she a sniper for the Israeli military?

She still is 96
Or were you taking some other “position”?

She was pro-masturbation.

Her education and therapy allowed me to lift the veil of guilt, shame, and morality associated with masturbation.

I was finally able to do it in public once again.

Thanks Dr. Ruth.

Westheimer joined the Haganah Jewish Zionist underground paramilitary organization (later, the Israel Defense Forces) in Jerusalem.[25][24][26] Because of her diminutive height of 4 feet 7 inches (140 cm), she was trained as a scout and sniper.[23][26][27] Of this experience, she said, "I never killed anybody, but I know how to throw hand grenades and shoot."[28] She became an ace sniper, and learned to assemble a rifle in the dark.[23][14] When she was 90 years old, she demonstrated that she was still able to put together a Sten gun with her eyes closed.[29]

ETA: I obviously just grabbed this quick and dirty off of Wikipedia this morning. Sorry.

How do you become an “ace” sniper without having killed anyone?

Oh, man, are you lucky she died yesterday or she'd show ya.

Hopping I don't have to explain a Quantum Leap joke , like time travel itself that would be impossible.

I understand Dr. Sam Beckett but I didn't watch the show so I don't know how it relates to Dr. Ruth.
