"WE BECOME THE MAN OF OUR UNIFORM"
This quote from Napoleon Bonaparte reflects the idea that the function associated with a uniform shapes the soldier's behavior and highlights how attire can influence the wearer's self-perception and actions.
Napoleon placed great importance on the discipline, order, and prestige of military uniforms. He saw the uniform not only as a sign of authority and office, but also as a means of transforming and elevating the soldier to the height of his responsibilities.
