meh. worst is that there were some women in combat positions in WWII, the snipers are particularly famous. So it's not even an USEFUL lie, as you say. If revising is narrowed to that sort of stuff, I agree it's bad, obviously

the thing that blows my mind the most here is the inability to see that soldiers are the victims of war just as much as civilians. fetishizing the military and elevating the ultra-violence of state on state warfare is sickening.

it can puzzle you while looking from the outside, but I can't blame a normie for not stopping to think and coming to your viewpoint with the whole cultural zeitgeist glorifying soldiers. try the teens that got shot in the face thinking WWI was the war to end all wars next time.

and I have immense trouble understanding the motivation. maybe the issue is that the war pilots were lionized as heroes instead of being portrayed for what they were: victims of a war, with an enormous death toll. I don't know why a parent would want that for their daughter.
