Maintaining a large military requires an unimaginable amount of resources. Even today, the most popular and sought-after items on the battlefield among soldiers don't seem to be those dazzling star weapons and equipment.
For a military enthusiast, a Tiger Tank or a high-performance Super Fighter Jet might be the equipment of their dreams, but for soldiers in actual combat, those weapons and equipment might not leave them with the best impression.
The logistical supply consumption of a Tiger Tank could be enough to support a company or even two companies of regular infantry. Although its combat efficiency might be higher, for those soldiers deprived of supply materials, watching a Tiger Tank pass before them might not put them in a good mood.
In contrast, the various grassroots equipment that neither captures the attention of military enthusiasts nor is discussed with enthusiasm by them is the true core supporting a military.
