Brave women. Have others taken up the arms and training? A dozen needs to be a thousand (or more). Evolve Dammit Sep 2022 #1

They said they had 100 applications from women and started training with these 12. Many men have already been through training and are presently in active combat service in Ukraine. I'm sure many more brave women and men will be stepping up to the plate. The brutality unleashed by the Russia and Belarusian dictatorial regimes has been directed toward their own people as well as Ukrainians. The tyranny and suffering of these people must end, sadly they will have to fight for freedom. Freedom has never been free.
