Those women are snipers, not grunts. A grunt is more like a construction worker + miner + sherpa. You fell for the typical BS that if you can pull a trigger, you can be a grunt. There is a reason that actual Red Army assault troops were male. Chicks were used in jobs where they could handle the lighter workload, such as sniping.

Despite today’s hit movies, snipers do not do half the physical work of grunts. Grunts envy them and how they get to lay up for days on end in a hide.
