Goodies fron Ol' Remus

The "Dust Bowl" drought of the 'thirties hit northwestern Oklahoma hard. By 1940 about 60,000 had left, mostly marginal farmers driven from the land by bankruptcy or despair. The outflow continued into the 1940s when stay behinds learned of employment opportunities elsewhere from relatives and friends, totaling over 162,500 by 1950.

Military Dot Com reports the Marine Corps' accelerated progress in becoming properly feminized:

The most male-dominated military service in the Department of Defense has embarked on an ambitious initiative to strip unnecessary masculine pronouns and other indicators of gender bias out of its foundational publications within the next 24 months...
Meanwhile, the service has institutionalized training on the phenomenon of unconscious bias, with courses now offered at Marine Corps boot camp and all schoolhouses, including commanders' courses.

It isn't the training that should be institutionalized, it's the leadership. Can't have Marines running around acting like, um, Marines. Next is a series of well publicized demotions for an ill-considered word, a careless gesture. This is more evidence feminists "succeed" in combat outfits by paralyzing honchos with fear and extorting preferences, not by performing to standard as-is.
"Unnecessary masculine pronouns"—gag. Meanwhile, Spetsnaz trains their warriors by putting them in a room with an entrenching tool and a rabid dog. You can bet our enemies pass this stuff around for laughs.

  Z Man says it more tactfully than I would. Like many people my age, I've known survivors of Nazi extermination camps and nameless slave labor camps, of Iwo Jima and Khe San, of captivity by the Soviets and of much else. Using the word "survive" as feminists choose to use it reveals more about feminism than the victim.
