I disagree with the decision not because it's unrealistic, but rather because it feels like they're bordering on revisionism. Obviously if there's a Nazi zombie side-game, everybody knows that it is fantasy just for fun. Alluding, however, that the way the war was fought was different to how it really was is a dangerous thing. Once you begin to tread the path of slight alterations to the portrayal of events in works of entertainment, those 'slight alterations' can become greater and greater in the name of concepts such as 'diversity' and 'inclusiveness'. A perversion to history can lead to a perversion in the thoughts of the impressionable masses, and such is never a good thing as has been seen time and time again.

I understand where you're coming from. But I think they included the characters in a way that makes sense and is historically correct (like, there are no female US soldiers but there are female resistance fighters). Correct me if I'm wrong - not a huge CoD fan here - but I don't think it's to prove a point.

To my knowledge, they haven't stated what the woman you'll play as will be. Whether that is a resistance fighter or an American soldier of course makes a big difference. Considering though, that this is an American game, they will most likely make the mistake of making the woman American (or British).

I, too, don't think that they are doing this to prove a point; but to sell more copies of the game. This however, whether intentionally or not, is still making it easier for those who may seek to boost a political agenda to do so.
