: Yeah... skill at commanding men has absolutely nothing to

: They probably couldn't deploy troops in some excellent
: tactical position if they're lives depended on it. But
: alone on the battlefield, they would literally go
: berserk, and start hacking everything around them to
: pieces. Including any unoffending trees, shrubs,
: fences, rocks, ground, innocent bystanders, air,
: animals, and walls that were unfortunate enough to be
: in the general vicinity.
: Doom
