And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I actually met a female Soviet combat pilot from WW 2; I was doing a static display in front of my A-7 with red star on tail (we simulated Russian Naval Aviation adversaries). She came up to me and we took a picture together. She was a short, blonde, elderly woman; it was back in the 1980's. People don't usually know that Russia had female combat pilots in WW 2.
Red hair, blue eyes, no visible body 'adornments'.
