I was an instructor in an NCO leadership school and will paraphrase something from the accompanying study. Don’t remember the exact words (long ago). A Roman commander said that fresh, well trained soldiers without combat experience were the best, because to them, the first battle was like a “bloody exercise.” They were less inhibited than those with combat experience.
