The word about clothes is given to Lieutenant Lukash: "If your uniform is not in order, and the buttons are poorly sewn or lack them, it means that you forget your duties to the army. Per it seems unclear to you why you are arrested for yesterday, when you were examined, you lacked a button on the gym, for such a little thing, for such a mess, which, if you were not in the military service, nobody would pay attention to? But in military service, such negligence with regard to its appearance entails penalty. And why? It’s not about missing a button, it’s about getting you in order. Today you don’t sew the button, and so you start to lordry. Tomorrow you will already find it difficult to disassemble and clean the rifle, after tomorrow you will forget in some tractor your stick and finally fall asleep at the post - and all because of the fact that with that unfortunate button you began to lead the life of a lobster. That is, the pigeon! I punish you in order to save you from a punishment more severe than those misdemeanors that you might commit in the future, slowly but surely forgetting your duties. andquot;
