I SALUTE THESE LADIES AND THEY ARE A GUIDING FORCE FOR THE FUTURE GENERATIONS JUST AS THE MEN OF THAT GENERATION.

Men have been 98% of war casualties. Don't buy in to the equality argument that tries to conflate the contributions of one sex with those of the other, and somehow call them equal. Being killed in service to your country is an act that cannot be exceeded in significance.

So please, if you are to recognize the contributions of women, don't juxtapose them against the contributions of male soldiers. You wrote, "[women] are a guiding force for the future generations, JUST AS THE MEN..." No, not just as the men. NOT just as the men. Male war dead were a force to defend the survival of future generations, not merely a guide.

Just appreciate such women for what they did. Give credit where credit is due. But don't patronize male war casualties while lauding the women. It's unnecessary, and it diminishes the ultimate sacrifice that was paid by those who paid it.
