What if we cuddled in the shield wall 👉👈

Now I need an interesting and informative comment explaining about how shield walls were used in history for mental health support

If you count morale in a battle as mental health support, they actually were. Xenophon talks about how inexperienced or timid members of a phalanx go in the middle so that their more experienced or confident comrades can both lead them amd push them onwards
“for in war one must put the best men in the van and the rear, and the worst in the centre, that they may be led by the van and driven forward by the rearguard.”
- Xenophon's Memorabilia, E C Marchant's translation

When all you have is a shield wall, every problem looks like a squad of archers.
