Yep, the Soviets were down to non-shaving boys and cane-borne old men.
During WWII, the US had roughly 10% of the entire population in uniform; that would be 20% of all males.
An even higher percentage of military-age males.
Toward the end, we were drafting men with flat feet, half-blind, half-deaf.
Roger Young was a good example.
But we never sent women to fight.
Nor should we have.
The women were able to replace men in the factories and so release men for military service. in WW2, There were and are many jobs women can do in the military, especially in logistics. But at bottom, this has all to do with the promotion system, who makes general rather than the efficiency of the service. The pool of women capable to serving in combat arms is much smaller than the pool of men.
