Is he talking about morale or morals? I'd disagree in the first instance, agree in the second.
I took it to mean the first, and never considered the second possibility. Of course, it's all subject to translation anyway, and I'm afraid he hasn't been around for a very long time, or we'd put the question directly to him.
