Dude started out as a common soldier. He sure knew a thing or too about fighting.

Common is a strong word - as a member of the aristocracy, his early service was as an officer on a general’s staff.
However, he did, personally, save the life of a fellow citizen in combat during that period, for which he won a Civic Crown, so he wasn’t just eating oysters and watching armies!
