A Ukrainian nursery teacher-turned-soldier took out a Russian cruise missile on her first try, falling to her knees in awe of her debut combat launch…

It made the main news in the UK, and rightly so!

Once you've worked with a class full of small children, nothing frightens you.

Isn't this the kind of woman that nominee Hegseth said shouldn't be in combat?

Yes he did … I forgot if he meant in combat arms or just combat period. The USA is not Ukraine … However, many females have performed very well in US units. But since Obama opened up all branches of the military to females. If I understand it correctly, there are females in Infantry or maybe Armor, or FA.

Hegseth has a CIB and two Bronze Stars. Served at Gitmo, in Iraq and A'stan as an Infantry officer. DEI that as Obama started it before it was called DEI. Of course, his daughters will never serve in the military and certainly not in combat.

It won't be very DEI, woke, progressive, etc. if US, etc. female soldiers are ever captured by radical moslem terrorists, e.g. ISIS, AQ, the Taliban, etc. We will see that the flawed concept of DEI does not mean anything to moslem terrorists. If Obama or anyone else doubts that listen to the reports or watch the Go-Pro footage of what the moslem terrorist did on 7 Oct. to Israeli females especially if they were in the IDF. They'd be lucky if they were just killed.

Woke, DEI, CRT, LGBTQ, etc. means 0 to moslem fanatics. They see females as 2 class sub-humans. And if they are infidels, it is that much worse. What ISIS didn't rape and kill of the Vazidi women they sold into slavery. Just ask a Yazidi female … if you can find one.

Not a lot of woke progressive DEI, CRT, LGBTQ, etc. in many molsem countries. Ask the women of A'stan … they will tell you the same.

This story is remarkable and demonstrates how adaptable and brave wartime people were, especially this teacher who performed well in a new capacity. Her victory shows that determination and tenacity can triumph in difficult situations.

The larger implications are that in times of national disaster, many people rise to the occasion regardless of their background or beginning responsibilities in society. This escape road shows the resilience of ordinary individuals confronting enormous odds.

That seems to have happened many times in history. As otherwise peaceful people can turn into effective killers. Especially after they have lost loved ones, etc. to the enemy.
