DiscussionWhen officers have warm winter clothes and eat well while their troops shiver and survive on rations, the troops will not be motivated to fight hard for their leaders. When the troops know that their leaders could indulge themselves but prefer to share and be modest, the troops will feel that they are one with the leaders, will love them and fight to the death for them. When ordinary people see their leaders taking personal risks, many will be inspired, while those who hold back will be shamed into joining them. See also
