And Ze, even though I'm Lord Marshal I'd still lead from the front, it does wonders for morale and discipline to see your leader in front of you, not cowering in Whitehall! I can't stand sitting around whilst others do the work I lead from the front with my sword drawn ready to take a bullet for the soldier next to me.
