Perhaps an idea worth considering. But there were many veteran divisions like the 36th, 45th, and 1st, to name just a few, that fought all the way from Italy to France and absorbed a lot of replacements along the way (or as they were called later in the war- "reinforcements") yet maintained a high level of battle efficiency throughout. Many (not all) of the drawbacks of the U.S. Army's replacement system were addressed as the war progressed. The most significant improvement was the intentional effort to provide the newly arrived reinforcements a deliberate training regimen before sending them into combat. It is true that the newcomers suffered a higher casualty rate, but those that survived their baptism of fire quickly became proficient in combat tactics. So, the idea that a "green" soldier would always stay "green" is mostly a myth. The reality is that the U. S. Army got better as the war progressed, not worse.
But, as far as ASL is concerned, debating things like national ML is purely an academic exercise. The game and its rules are what they are, and it's a better use of one's time to learn to play the game within its boundaries and enjoy it for all the many positives it has to offer. At least that is what I try to do.
