Ukrainian Hero
The Ukrainian combat medic Sergeant Daria Filipieva has been killed in battle against the Russian Army. She was assigned the call sign "Lightning" because she could come to the aid of soldiers as quickly as a bullet or a fragment of a projectile. Daria, a bright and creative individual, could not stand by and watch others defend their native land. She saved dozens of lives on the battlefield, like an angel. Her light will continue to shine from the sky forever.
Rest in Peace Daria, Ukraine will never forget your sacrifice!

Tumblr media
Yonatan "Yoni" Netanyahu (Hebrew: יונתן נתניהו; March 13, 1946 – July 4, 1976) was an American-born Israel Defense Forces (IDF) officer who commanded the elite commando unit Sayeret Matkal during Operation Entebbe, an operation to rescue hostages held at Entebbe Airport in Uganda in 1976. 102 of the 106 hostages were rescued, but Netanyahu was killed in action—the only IDF fatality during the operation.

"Callous Thief: Souvenir Coins Taken In Raid," Winnipeg Tribune. October 28, 1943.

Between 3 and 3.30 p.m. Wednesday he stole three penny pieces, half a crown, two shillings and two halfpennies sent to Mrs. Law by a son serving in England.
When the thief went through her possessions, he threw on the floor the cross sent to Mrs. Law by the government when her son, Pte. George Law, was killed at Hong Kong.
In addition, $10 in cash was stolen. Entrance to her room was made by removing the lock,

"Soldiers died for your right to do that, so don't do that!"
(Speaking from the USA)
It's rarer nowadays, but in high school I would see this argument so often that it just felt like some sick joke so ingrained into our collective psyches that most people weren't even aware that it was a joke.

People hangout with their families.…

Please enjoy a goofy little comic I made last year that became something I'm quite proud of! A combination of Wallace and Gromit and the hit webcomic Kill Six Billion Demons- Kill Six Billion Gromits!

I heard a ball strike his horse, as I thought. But on looking, I saw no flesh wound upon his horse, but discovered the blood dripping the heel of the General's boot.
W. L. Wickham, at Confederate General Albert Sidney Johntson’s side when he was mortally wounded at the Battle of Shiloh

Why is it that Batman’s ok with Antiheroes if it’s Catwoman or Talia Al Ghul, but when it’s the Red Hood, suddenly he’s beating the shit out of him
