    No they actually fight. Most of these women have videos of being in combat and some have died. The idea that pretty women are only in uniform as a PR thing needs to die in a fire.

      Doesn’t mean she wasn’t chosen by PR for her appearance. Still can be a capable soldier.

        Yes but so many people are running with the idea that pretty women in the military are just PR for recruiting. Which is reductive to their actual service.

          Both can exist, you’re probably more likely to see the PR ladies online since their military will be pushing their visibility

            Yeah no. They’re going to have day jobs in the military. Unless you’re creating a literal TV ad.

              You seriously think that they wouldn’t cart a crew to a captured town behind the front lines for a photoshoot?

          You got a downvote from a guy who thinks Ukrainian women like dying in war for attention.
