I mean they lost and the Russians and Americans won so obviously not.

Pragmatism wins over honor every time.

honor means shit when you're dead in the dirt and some soviet is fucking your wife brains out
Thomas Lee
Both the Russians and Americans had their own units with their own honor cultures and codes of conduct.
Mason Scott
Yeah the Roman legions were a deadly force.

Most Fallschirmjager units weren't even trained to fallschirm, so I don't know how many except the former 7. Fleiger would give a shit

Money as logistics yeah, but not money as motivation, which is what this conversation is about.

Jacob Perry
>Want to see profits and benefits

Logan Anderson
>want to earn a free ride on college

Of course, everyone does everything just for themselves. Even if they were doing it for "duty", it was to make themselves feel good for doing it for "duty" as much as it was the "duty" itself.
What I'm trying to say is that in response to that money is by no means more capable of motivating a soldier than his culture or moral code is.
Kayden Smith
huh kinda makes me want to do an anonymous survey on the different military's in the world to see how many fight for duty or profits first
