There's supposed to be a handle on that flaming sword. I didn't notice one at the link.
The early airborne divisions included glider infantry regiments. Don't ask me what's the difference between a brigade and brigade combat team. Army combat brigades were always mixes of combat arms battalions, i.e. infantry and artillery and maybe armor(tanks), plus support troops.
Effects of Purifying and Adaptive Selection on Regional Variation in Human mtDNA
A phylogenetic analysis of 1125 global human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences permitted positioning of all nucleotide substitutions according to their order of occurrence. The relative frequency and amino acid conservation of internal branch replacement mutations was found to increase from tropical Africa to temperate Europe and arctic northeastern Siberia. Particularly highly conserved amino acid substitutions were found at the roots of multiple mtDNA lineages from higher latitudes. These same lineages correlate with increased propensity for energy deficiency diseases as well as longevity. Thus, specific mtDNA replacement mutations permitted our ancestors to adapt to more northern climates, and these same variants are influencing our health today.

I corrected the spelling in my tagline since then. In Vietnamese it means I'm sorry sweetheart.
