Russians truly didn’t value human life
When you're in a fight for your life, you don't have the luxury of "valuing human life." I think that's a hard concept for us as Americans.
Other than the Revolutionary War, our mainland has never been invaded by an equal, or worse yet, superior military force. Also, our homeland has never been the battleground for a war since the Civil War. I can't imagine what it must have been like to have been born in France in say, 1900. Then to have large portions of your country turned into rubble, not once but twice in your lifetime.
Thank you to all of the men and women that have fought our wars abroad so that those of us at home could have such a good life.

I'd argue that the War of 1812 was basically a second Revolutionary War. Not in stated objectives, but in reality.

I totally agree with your point. I was mainly pointing out the futility of fly a crop duster against the Luftwaffe. Incredibly brave women.
