The Norwegian lass looks quite determined.
I notice the Russian ladies all wear a striped T-shirt. I associate this with the navy. Is it common to all the Russian services?
Had to do a quick Google search to confirm Chinese men do indeed wear jackboots as part of their dress uniform: the ladies marching in step in jackboots and short skirts looked too much like they were having a Rockettes moment. Grelber |

From Wikipedia: The Russian telnyashka (Russian: тельня́шка, IPA: [tʲɪlʲˈnʲaʂkə]) is an undershirt horizontally striped in white and various colors and which may be sleeveless. It is an iconic uniform garment worn by the Russian Navy, the Russian Airborne Troops (VDV) and the Russian marines. Dating back to the 19th century Imperial Navy, it was subsequently worn by the Soviet successors of these troops. The French also have something similar. |

I hope the Estonians are training all their women as snipers. They're going to be needed when the "little green men" show up in the near future. |

Thanks, Inch High Guy. Like I say, I'm familiar with use of the striped undershirt by the navy, but seeing them as part of the airborne made me wonder just which branch of the service the airborne were attached to.
Thanks again! Grelber |

Russian Airborne (desant or Десант) are a separate branch of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (VDV – Vozdushno-desantnye voyska Rossii) – the striped undershirt and blue beret are a sign of their status as elite troops, as noted above which started with the Imperial Russian Navy |

So, would the expression of views that don't coincide with current US DoD policy on gender integration in the armed forces be a dawghousable offense? Asking for a friend- |
