You're quite welcome. I like coming here discussing intelligent topics. Thank you for your time. Incidentally, you might like to read about Russian women pilots during WWII. You'd find it quite facinating.

Regards, Janey

This is what I hear when you talk about this subject:

Daddy, Daddy, look at me, look at me. I can dive just like Tommy. Daddy, Daddy, look at me!

You might want to read about the German pilots, we did not believe their claims of shooting down literally hundreds of the enemy planes until we saw the proof.

We had no idea that such a thing was possible, aces with 2 and 3 hundred kills.

I think what you will notice about instances of Soviet women in combat roles is that they seem to have performed better when they were the only link in the chain such as pilots, snipers and members of NKVD blocking units. Yes, the Soviets also had female infantry units but from all I've read about them, they may have been brave and determined but they didn't perform particularly well.

A book you may want to read sometime about a Filipino-American woman guerrilla in WWII is The Crucible: An Autobiography by Colonel Yay, Filipina American Guerrilla .

The radical feminists and left in general will have nothing to do with such a woman who achieved the rank of colonel in the Filipino guerrilla army fighting the Japanese. Two reasons being she had bad things to say about the communists and was decidedly pro-Amerian.
