Lolzeer & SteelEcho
Hey SteelEcho, I just stumbled upon an old war memoir that claims polishing your boots before battle is a strategic move. Do you think it's more about morale or just a way to keep the boots in line for your next victory?
Boots polished before combat isn’t a morale boost for the sake of morale. It’s a maintenance check, keeping the soles and laces in optimal condition so the next engagement can rely on them without failure. A clean boot also signals discipline to the unit, which does a small morale bump, but the primary purpose is readiness.
Sounds like you’re talking boots, not just the ‘sparkle’ factor. Keep them shiny so they don’t slip on the battlefield—just in case you’re actually doing the ‘dance of victory’ instead of a straight march!
Boots shine, no slip, no hesitation. If you need a dance, keep the steps in the logbook, not on the field.
Right, so you’re turning the battlefield into a dance floor—just remember the logbook is where the tango moves go, not the marching lines!
Logbook keeps the tango, march keeps the line. Stick to the line.
Sure thing, squad captain—straight line, no tangos in the field. But if the logbook starts a dance party, I’ll just roll with it!
