Bringing women into the fight is a sign of desperate, make no mistake.
Despite the rhetoric we here from the media and Ukraine supporters, this is not, "Brave, Ukrainian, female patriots," fighting evil Russia."
What are you talking about?
Of course, Ukraine is desperate, they've been desperate since Day One, when our Pres. OBiden called to offer Zelenskyy a ride out of the country, to which Zelenskyy famously replied, he didn't want a ride, he needed more ammunition.
Of course, Ukraine is desperate, how could they not be desperate, outnumbered god-awful-to-one in both population and economic potential, Ukraine can only hope to win with help from its allies and by using every available soldier.
Many armies, including ours, use women in combat support roles, and sometimes in combat itself.
Among other reasons, it shows that women can assume all the duties of citizenship, not just those less hazardous.
Of course, it's a crying shame to see young women injured or killed in war, but I think we can say that as of today vastly more Ukrainian civilian women have been killed in insane Russian missile attacks on civilians than have been casualties in the trenches against Russian "Meat Wave" assaults.
