In Destiny it seems that grunts only exist just look at it. Grunts in original towards end were useless because Amuro now became a ace while Zeon's grunt were mostly newbies and I don't even remember what those GM did, and of course there was Big Zam which just owned about half of Fed's army, but I would say that they were more useful then Destiny grunt. Yes, in Seed and X weren't able to fight of overwhelming number of MS.

Spoiler for those who didn't see SEED:

Let's see... scenes I recall where grunts did a good job against Gundams

1. Strike vs. BuCues in the desert in SEED
2. Strike Rouge vs. ZAFT in space saving Minvera in SEED Destiny where the Strike lost an arm and its legs.

That's all I can think right now, but I'm sure there are more.
