        The fact that I get to learn cool facts while commenting on memes is a reason why I love the Internet.

          I read someone say that (here or on Reddit) when there was post that Russian soldiers were given tampons to use to stop bleeding.

          I searched for history of tampons and that looked like the person was just bullshitting. I think OP probably saw the same comment as me.

            Recently saw an army training video and they used tampons as tinder for campfires. I wonder when they started doing that.
