Maybe, but i'd bet it would still be preferable than the vermin, fleas and phosgene of WW1 trench warfare.

The big difference between the Infantryman and the Flier or the Submariner is that for the Grunt the discomfort and danger is 24/7. Death may be close at times for the latter two but once the depth charges stop dropping or the fighters and AA stop firing life isn't all that bad whereas the suck continues for the Infantryman non stop.
