"To make an Army work you have to have every man in it fitted into a fear ladder.
Men in prison camps, deserters, or men in replacement camps are in the backwaters of the Army and the discipline has to be proportionately more powerful.
The Army functions best when you're frightened of the man above you, and contemptuous of your subordinates"
