Good Chow
The fastest way to ruin a unit's morale is bad chow. As good old Napoleon said: "An Army marches on its stomach." This does make for an interesting mental image, but it is also very true.
The US Army in World War 2 was the best-fed army in history up until then. The troop ration was based on 4050 calories a day in 1945. Think about that a minute, and compare it to what is recommended today.
