I was trying to think of a old movie about ww2 I believe. Its centered around a draftee from appalachia. I remember the opening has a quote something like "The scariest men in a war are the quiet nice ones."
I couldnt figure it out, im sure if I remember the name but searching up the premise gave me nothing.
My point being, how many women in ANY of the wars, including modern ones, have been awarded for taking out a entire platoon of enemies to save their squad? Are there even any?
I dont think I have ever heard of a woman jumping on a grenade either? Maybe that was just war propaganda about men anyway?
I seen a comment in r/canada the other day where someone said something along the lines of "i dont care what you are as long as you can push buttons". Implying that the only thing to modern war is staring at a screen.
You still need boots on the ground and it might be a good idea not to alienate what has been typically the main driving force of that. Young white men.

Are you sure it was WW2? Because Sgt. York was from Appalachia, but he was a WW1 hero

No. At least three of them even survived doing it - John Carmichael, Jack Lucas and Kyle Carpenter.

Just read some of the MoH citations.
Or watch the Chapman MoH action caught on video in Afghanistan. https://youtu.be/3oKMjTqdTYo?si=LhflLThEoRuGepe2
