TIL "quartering troops" means giving them shelter, not cutting them into four pieces... makes much more sense now!
Don't do that either.
Let's not be hasty here. We haven't explored all the pros and cons of drawing and quartering the troops yet
Pro: don't have to pay veteran benefits
Con: hard to get people to enlist
Pro: it's fun
Con: soldiers will catch on and they're heavily armed
Where will we get enough horses?!
