Taking the heaviest casualties and continuing to fight.
We can only assume what a U.S. Army tank battalion would do after 90% of its tanks have been destroyed.
As we’ve seen in Ukraine, the Russians often carry on with their attacks even when there are only a few people and vehicles left.
These attacks often seem senseless, and most of the time, they certainly are, but in a few situations, a soldier needs to be ready to die to reach an important objective.
Again, I highly doubt that, except for a few Special Operations Forces, U.S. soldiers would be able to pull that off. Of course, the same goes for all other Western military forces: that dying is part of a soldier’s job description is often forgotten.
The Russians have this willingness to sacrifice themselves, and so do the Ukrainians. With our armies in the West, we don't know. Let's hope that our soldiers will never be put to the test.
