Morale & Guards & Patrols

More and more I'm thinking when an enemy even sees another group they will make a morale check to make the brave choices or always do the right thing with some people. I use morale to see if bored troops do anything they shouldn't or are provoked. An extension of this is what about bored guards in a dungeon all day. What about those patrols that are lacklustre. If not on red alert and no immediate danger guards can get sloppy.

Those with high morale and make rolls are more likely to perform well those with low morale are sloppier and more likely to have their throats slit while discussing recipes or looking at figurines of family. 

So I will use morale for how disciplined are guards and patrols. 

Guards are people at specific posts
Patrols are for wandering monsters or border patrols in wilderness territories
