U.S. Army Nurses from Bataan and Corregidor, freed after three years imprisonment in Santo Tomas Interment Compound, climb into trucks as they leave Manila on their way home to the U.S. in February, 1945.

63 year old Georgian sniper Darejan Maisuradze, formerly a vice-colonel of the MIA and veteran of the Abkhazia war, has been fighting for Ukraine since the beginning of this conflict.

We Georgians owe it to the Ukrainians and now I am paying this debt. Many Ukrainians died for us in Abkhazia. People who fought by my side. I want to contribute to their motherlands defence in return. As long as Ukraine is in trouble, I will not leave.

So people understand where a lot of the solidarity is also coming from.

16 April 1943: Odette Sansom, aka Lise, was arrested behind enemy lines in France where she was working as a courier for SOE. Incredibly brave woman who became 1st woman to be awarded George Cross. She spent the rest of the war imprisoned in Ravensbrück Concentration Camp.

Her wartime experiences and endurance of a brutal interrogation and imprisonment, which were chronicled in books and a motion picture, made her one of the most celebrated members of the SOE and one of the few to survive Nazi imprisonment.

She has a pretty damn nice manicure for a "SOF" member . . . maybe she works in the office while the rest are in constant combat?

Yeah I noticed that, but I'm careful with presumptions. The source I grabbed this from claimed it was SOF, so I just roll with it. Who knows. If they can do their job with manicure, down some helis, who cares right :v

Idk how UA SOF is with accepting females in combat role tbh. In Georgia, it was not welcome, just support, intel etc. Very rare exceptions. But ladies can become part of sof if they make the cut. In what capacity idk honestly. Prob still the above mentioned.

Good obs.......I've noticed that as well mate, on several of the UA "chick" pics during this recent Ukraine war. The lasses are too clean, their guns unused & clean, their hands well manicured in these photo ops.....I don't much care for these photo ops. The only one I've see that's the real deal is the chick up near Kiev who was the master tank killer with the Stuga system, I read about here, she's the real deal and they had pics of her actually at it cracking tanks with the system and she was not as well kept but darn cute!!

Okay chaps I must say this........that either way you look at it, clean uniforms or dirty one's, my entire attitude about woman from the Ukraine (and the people of the Ukraine) has solidly changed since this war started...... GOD BLESS'em ALL especially the snipers and ATGM operators!!! ?

The mettle of these ladies, young and old, from the old babushka WHO on day one walked out from her house to confront the Russian soldiers tactically walking down the boulevard telling them to leave here--now, they shouldn't have come and then handed each one a handful of sunflower seeds and when they asked "why, what for?" She told them to "put them in your pockets so when we kill you invaders the sunflowers will grow where you fall!!" It was real, I've seen the video of her doing it!! That single act set the tone for what has followed and it's been dramatic! AND, it has made me take stock too of who on this globe are the best people, if it can be said there is such a thing, I sure think it can be said and I would soundly state that Ukrainians and their woman are among the greatest--ever!!

Just watch the millions of frames of video of the evacuation to the four corners of Ukraine, the men stayed behind as we know, mobilized to fight, another great deed...but the woman, from what sure looked like very progressive, modern cities and communities, with beautiful European homes and properties, closed up houses, wrapped up the children and the parents and grandparents, grabbed the pets, and then decided what of their things they could or should take, and then herded off to safety if there was that sort of thing where they would end up--but they did it, orderly, efficiently and without fanfare. Western woman would have been a wreck, the Poles and Moldavians would have wanted to send them all back to save the drama!!

And that shouldn't stop short of mentioning those noble and hardy lovely ladies, young lasses (like the one above) who could have fled but who chose to stay behind and fight as well along with the men from their homeland.....for what's right about all that--to kill the thieves and invaders bent on nothing but taking and killing! How many British, American, French, German or Italian girls would have stayed to fight if given the chance to bug-out and escape with their cell phone and make-up cases, most wouldn't. I hearken to the line from the movie Patton where USA Gen. George Patton said "those people must be saved!"

To the point, to me there's NOTHING more proud, more stoic, more hardy, more motherly, more pioneering, and more gutsy, more patriotic, and more tough....AND, on top of all that in many cases, NOTHING MORE GORGEOUS than a Ukraine girl/woman now....NOTHING!!!! ?

There is much to be learned from all this, something refreshing for sure. Moments in time like this show us what the mettle of people are and what they hold dear and what they will do when that time comes--we can all learn something from the Ukrainians!! Their little piece of this earth, small as it is, is as important to them as anything and from what I could tell before it became a wasteland of the detritus of war, its second only to their families!! The woman I speak of whether fighting in Ukraine or resettling somewhere waiting are the best you're going to find anywhere and perhaps the greatest I've seen in my lifetime!! God Bless'em one and all
