[QUOTE="Boring, post: 3382737, member: 45853"] When I was reading up on military history a decade or so ago, I read where Napoleon tried to use mobs in his movement to contact phase in early battles. Composed of landless peasantry, paroled prison convicts, and countless down on their luck jobless, they formed a seething mass. A multihued killing entity without any command or control that was loosed in a general direction, in this case - towards the enemy. Armed with shotguns and farming implements they attacked organized, professional ranks and were obliterated. But they compelled the enemy to engage while Napoleon hastily deployed his tiny Grand Armee and wheeled his artillery into position. Hence the term, “Cannon Fodder.” I read it a long time ago and am not interested in substantiating its veracity. [/QUOTE]
