It was immediately obvious that their work would be important for morale

From Patton's speech to the Third Army (his examples are supply logistics)

All the real heroes are not storybook combat fighters. Every single man in the army plays a vital role. So don't ever let up. Don't ever think that your job is unimportant.

Boys study tactics, Men study logistics, Logistics is one of the most important parts behind any fighting force and can easily boost performance and moral, Or crush it.

​

Every single person in a military force is important, From those on the front lines, To those bringing in supplies to those that make the decisions, It is all one cohesive unit, One Entity.

I fought in two wars. It's most definitely bullets and beans. This is just wrong.
