It's not just military uniforms. When women's dress sizes were developed in the 1940s, they were based on working class white women's measurements & poverty contributed to their thinness. https://time.com/3532014/women-clothing-sizes-history/ #HATM

"They did not send us because they thought we could do it. We are here because they are sure we cannot."

The old joke used to be "why do the men go off to war? because the women were watching"
But this film seems to think the reverse was actually true. #HATM
So it's a different war, but the idea that the US Government is responsible for notifying next of kin when a serviceperson dies in the war became a thing after the Civil War. See Drew Gilpin Faust's This Republic of Suffering or PBS's Death and the Civil War. #HATM https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/death-chapter-1/
