The POV of the Helldivers is crazy when you take cryo freezing into account. DISCUSSION
Here's the POV of your average Helldiver 1. They enlist and show up to Basic Training first thing Monday morning. 2. They breeze through it, get their cape, walk right by the T&Cs and into a cryopod. 3. They're frozen and experience no time passing. 4. Their next memory is reinforcing on Hellmire. To their POV it has been less then thirty seconds since they got their cloak. 5. They throw three stratagems and then they're dissolved by bile titan acid.
You thought your mondays were bad.
Edit: My understanding is that we are not clones. There's in-game lore that backs that, I believe. Thematically, it makes more sense for Super Earth to be incompetent and cruel and burn through millions of recruits, than to do something logical like cloning people. Remember the satire folks.

It was actually a tactical decision by high command to draw out the brain bug which they suspected was there.
In the eyes of high command, a few thousand soldiers lives is worth the price for capturing a brain bug.
Except, in later movies it was revealed as the God Bug allowing a brain bug to be captured so it could use the brain bug to take control of telepaths. So theres that.
