Russian Women Muster for a ‘Battalion of Death’
Following the first revolution of 1917, women were permitted to fight on the front lines.The Communist party were modernists and progressives and populist.
They had and have a model of human behavior that is both wrong and socialist. The Republican party finds them anathema.
1914 - 1918 changed the world.
The attempt to return conditions to 1900 was a greater disaster.

Navy Identifies 10 Sailors Killed or Missing After Collision Off Singapore
The 10 sailors are believed to have perished after the destroyer John S. McCain and an oil tanker collided.People should not die in collisions.
Oil tankers cannot maneuver quickly. Destroyers can.
There is no obvious excuse for this accident.
I want to see the report by the navy.
