Saw this picture on imgur and just had to post it here, because this is without a doubt, one of the most badass women alive. Meet Katrina Hodge, a corporal in the British Army and Miss England 2009. According to Wikipedia, she enlisted back in 2004 after her brother challenged her to and earned the nickname “Combat Barbie” after showing up at her assigned unit wearing false eyelashes, kitten heels (whatever those are) and carry a pink suitcase. In 2005 her unit, the Royal Anglian Regiment, was deployed to Iraq, where she saved the lives of her comrades from a prisoner by wrestling not one, but two rifles from him and then knocking his ass out with her bare hands.
With her bare hands.
Then in 2009, she decided to compete in the Miss England competition to destroy stereotypes about women in the military. She didn’t win (she placed runner-up), but still became Miss England after the woman who did got into a fight and gave up the crown. While Miss England, Hodge convinced the people running the competition to ditch the bikini contest, because she felt that it was more important to be a role model than looking good in a bikini.
In 2010, she handed over the crown and returned to military service, being deployed to Afghanistan.
This woman is both a BAMF and a HBIC. Damn.

From 7 September to 2 November 1940 the city of London was bombed every single night without miss. During this time Buckingham Palace was struck twice, though it was the working-class East End and the dockyards that were heaviest hit during the Blitz. The pounding continued well into 1941, with massive raids in March, April, and May. On 10 May, London suffered its worst raid ever: 1,436 people were killed, Westminster Abbey and the Tower of London were damaged, the House of Commons destroyed. Rubble blocked a third of London’s streets. Other cities—Belfest, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Coventry, Liverpool, Southampton—absorbed punishing hits, though of the 60,000 civilians killed during the war by German bombs, half lived in London.
At the height of the Blitz, 177,000 people were sleeping in London’s Underground, putting into public view the most private of habits while some 1.3 million Londoners were evacuated to the country side.
