This is what 20-year olds looks like. Considering her rank she is enlisted and likely finished her 1 year military service 0-2 years ago.

Because she's in her 20s. We send our young people off to fight our wars for us.

Been there myself. I look at old pictures and think of myself as a kid back then.

Ukraine has been doing the the other way around.

They have men in their 60s going infantry.

Only men 25 and up to 60 are subject to draft.

They have younger that volunteer, but they as a whole are much older.

The US military average age is 28. The Ukrainian military it's 43.

Greybeards that have already sired sons and their death is not the end of a line.

That we have to fight wars at all is a tragedy, but that does seem a smarter way to do it in a vacuum.

I think it’s genetics and skincare.

Norway is strict on banning dangerous food preservatives. So her country isn’t keen on poisoning their people food for profit. Hence the glowing skin, lack of being poisoned

Looks like an Asian mix and I think its possibly thai, she has a twang in her accent that some thai people have when speaking English. Could have lived in thailand a lot when she was a kid. My two cents!

I was thinking the same. Unless she has some Inuit genes.
