my uncle aged 19 was killed in the Verdun just 2 weeks after disembarking in France that last winter...my aunt was angry with him for insisting on a combat posting and quarreled with him at a family dinner right before he left...and she never got over it.

he was always a hero to us and my kids all know his story amongst others but he gets no special recognition over others like him based on his sex or race..

yes we are tired of it...this identity make up crap is so old

as for women and planes....a local ferry gal here....Cornelia Fort died doing that and has an airport namd after her and I know her niece rather well

likewise...that gal killed in Iraq immediately gets a mountain named after her by that kook governor out there

but if you want a real gutsy women pilots....check out the Soviet women fighter pilots who fought they Luftwaffe.. . . Nachthexen.

that said...women don’t often fly as well as men...like driving...yep, there are exceptions..great but one does not live by exceptions

btw...Amelia Earhart ran out of gas and couldn’t find the island she was looking for...nothing sinister...in case anyone was wondering
