[Animorphs] Andalite Soldiers

Alright, so for nostalgic purposes I have been re-reading some Animorphs novels, and as far as I can tell, in the Andalite military, I have not heard of any reports of Andalite soldiers wearing body armor or protective gear during ground combat. Why is this? Is this an honor/cultural thing, or are their commanders that incompetent in war?

I assume it's because need to be morph ready. The Animorphs discovered that clothing won't morph, with the exception of flexible, skintight clothing. Large combat morphs would destroy body armor, possibly injuring the wearer in the process, and small infiltration morphs would simply leave the armor behind.
