The lousier and shittier the food is, the meaner and more ornery is the army. It puts the army in a permanent bad mood and pisses them off all the time. this translate to a tougher fighting spirit on the battlefield. That is why the old timers are kick ass take charge ping kias who would dare to fight with gangsters in Kaoshiung. There is no accident that there is a correlation between better food and more guniang soldiers. Now specky guniang soldiers with so many rights in camp, parent visitations, good food, it has made them soft. They couldn't defeat a pack of dogs in battle. That is why old timers can complain about the food then.
Your crazy theory of poor food leading to better troops doesn't hold much water. In most places, troops desert because they are poorly paid and poorly fed. Those two go hand-in-hand.
In November, 15 months after joining up, he deserted, one of thousands of tired and frustrated soldiers who have shed their uniforms, seriously blunting the Afghan army’s power to repel a growing militant threat.
For Amanullah, everything changed late last year when, fighting on an empty stomach and without being paid for months, militants armed with rocket-propelled grenades and machine guns attacked his base from all directions in a three-day battle.
