“that officers want their soldiers in the best condition and that means the older uniforms and boots were not the most conducive to soldier health”


That’s a very common misconception.
Officers want their soldiers in the best conditions only when in combat. Otherwise, they want their soldiers in the worst conditions to harden the troops and weed out the weaklings. That’s the basic tenet of any military worth its salt.
Btw, sorry to be rude but I hate when a conservative talks like a concerned snowflake, and most of all, like Max Boot.
