On rusty armor (and assorted military metals for that reason!)
The Centurion´stave in the begining would ensure that every trooper´s armor would be spotless and later the veterans's experience would keep the good habit of proper maintenance.
Any of the RAT members who "has walked the beat" or have friends who served can assure you that no officer or NCO in any army past or modern would tolerate rust on metals.
And do they have a milion ways making you keep metals spotless :twisted: :twisted:
Kind regards
