How I would justify the theme of underestimation within the novel Soldier Boys is when both the Métis and Canadian communicated in such way of thinking that something is not as good or great as it/they really are. An example of underestimation justified in the story is when Lashbrooke underestimated Tom’s bugle abilities when he had gone in for the interview.
