    Using USSR-era cannon fodder tactics only works if you have USSR-era population numbers.

      Funnily enough the Soviets actually ran into manpower problems. Their population base was approximately the same as America’s at the time but their economy and agriculture was still industrializing.

      The Soviets acted like they had the manpower of Imperial Russia before WWI. A century of pouring out their own blood and they still think they’re the most populated nation on the planet.
