    It will never not be funny/infuriating that literally everyone resorted to human wave tactics except for the army that's racistly stereotyped as using them.

    As an aside, it is genuinely fucked how things like ad-hoc militias in the early days of the war deciding to fight doomed holding actions to buy their families and neighbors time to evacuate despite not being able to source enough guns to arm everyone who was willing to actively and knowingly sacrifice their own lives in the hopes of saving everyone they know and care about gets spun into racist tales about an entire army throwing unarmed men into a meatgrinder, and how this seeps into portrayals of successful attacks carried out by well equipped veteran units who'd spent days training for it ahead of time like the river crossing in Enemy at the Gates (which IRL was an unopposed action from a well equipped and extremely prepared veteran unit).
