What are all these soldiers going to eat during a nuclear winter though? Unless the food supply hasn’t collapsed, in which case we are probably far enough from extinction that the continuation of a conventional group power war isn’t going to get us there, or even close.
“Food supply collapse” isn’t a simple binary switch, though.
It’s possible that whatever food leftover will be distributed in the most militarily efficient way possible, and a large number of civilians will be left to starve so that the remenants of conventional military forces could continue their fight to the death.
Of course, I think this scenario will not lead to outright human extinction. But it does make the post-nuclear war situation a lot more difficult, despite civilisation nominally surviving the ordeal.

Well, in the food queue soldiers are likely to be the first.
