“What sounds funny to some people is not realistic.”

I respect your opinion, and this is why I prefaced my remarks acknowledging that I don’t know much about combat, other than it is terrifying and incredibly difficult to go through. Out of curiosity, did the USSR put women in the front lines of combat?

The Soviets declared it a failure and the Germans outfought/outkilled them by many millions.

Our soldiers dying by the many millions until the enemy retreats, is not the American way of war.

NOt sure about other combat positions but they were used as snipers. And one of women had one of the highest kill counts of the Soviet snipers.

But hey, I say ever army needs cannon fodder so make them all register for the draft and serve (involuntarily) in combat positions too.
