Go Girls! Save Ukraine, defeat Russia!

The year is 1006 AE. The war against the Crystal Empire has taken a drastic turn. More and more ponies enlist in hopes of finally ending the bloody conflict.
 
Applejack leaves the farm in the care of her brother. Fluttershy and Rarity leave their jobs at the textile factory to take up arms. Twilight Sparkle graduates the Royal Equestrian Military Academy after having enrolled to avenge her brother who died during a diplomatic mission to the Crystal Empire after its reapperance.
 
The four ponies are introduced to Ens. Rainbow Dash, REN, and SSgt. Pinkie Pie, REA. Together they form one of the first squads in the newly formed Joint Special Operations Command.

Maybe these are the last six left on either side after an epic pony war wiped out untold thousands of others. That’s why they’re so close, no one else can understand the horrors they’ve lived through.

Rarity, via flamethrower

@evil_eric  
It’s Rarity who takes up a fighting stance and goes kung-fu on anything.

All the Mane Six seemed unexpectedly tough in the brawl against the Changelings. But when it comes to actual fighting skills, I think RD and AJ are probably the only ones who have them.

Who do you guys think would tragically and gruesomely die first?

@Background Pony #6EEE  
really? if i didnt like it, i would have said it now know what you are saying please.
 
 
@Background Pony #DAF6  
yes i do. and im not talking about a huge bulge im talking about a small, slight one.

Let them be, there’s no point in trying to explain things to someone who’s clearly just trying to find any excuses to say a drawing isn’t of their liking.

@Sweetie Belle  
Then you don’t know what bulges look like, or how uniforms that hide the feminine form can influence how a female looks, apparently.

@Background Pony #DAF6  
no.

@Sweetie Belle  
By your response I can only assume you’re looking at a completely different image.

@Background Pony #DAF6  
um. they do.  
and two no they dont. they look alot like dudes, well mostly AJ, she doesnt even have eyelashes

@Sweetie Belle  

@Spiritus Arcane  
Some people also say that a darker skin tone looks better with her purple hair.

@Sweetie Belle  
A lot of fans tend to draw human Twilight with dark skin when they use normal skin tones. Probably because Twilight has the darkest fur color of the mane 6.

@Sweetie Belle  
I’m pretty sure she’s dark-skinned, not tan.

Rainbow is so tiny lol

why is twilight tan?

@Spiritus Arcane  
Judging from the artist’s comments at the source it seems the commissioner ordered military but the artist prefers the paintball explanation.

Are we sure this is military and not just paintball?

@Background Pony #2404  
It’s fanon that AJ is large from working on a farm because it well represents that she works on a farm. Even if she wasn’t as big as a man, she would still be cut and tan. Physical labor in the sun for hours on end will do that.

Their hair seems a bit too long & unrestrained to be military.

Sorry, I really can’t see human Fluttershy as being tall.
