Just caught something on Napoleon last night channel surfing. Wellington said Napoleon on the field is worth 50,000 troops. Googling, came up with this gem: Even Napoleon had his Watergate. - Yogi Berra brainyquote.com

I did not consider my comment an insult. I saw is as a cue for you to think again about your reply. It is highly unlikely we would apply limitations in the same perspectives. But where we do I'd expect we would have much agreement. Consider Frenchy, A 500,000 man army goes to 20k. After such devastating loss of an experienced winning military, it would take a decade at least to rebuild. A military genius would know that. Did Frenchy ever figure that out? An amateur or egomaniac would figure he could take numbers of amateurs and do as he willed.
