Paths of Glory: Difference between revisions

* {{spoiler|[[Shot At Dawn]]}}

* [[Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids]]: Broulard gives Colonel Dax a lecture to this effect near the end.

* [[Truth in Television]]: Not that every general was this bad, but a lot of the [[Aristocrats Are Evil]] trope was a pretty accurate portrayal of the French high command - so much so that the army had to deal with mass mutinies of their soldiers during portions of the war. The British and German general staffs were a little bit better, but not vastly so.

* [[Unflinching Walk]]: A variant. As Colonel Dax inspects his men before assaulting the Anthill, the enemy is bombarding their trench. Shells are exploding -- ''loudly'' -- less than 20 feet away from him. Yet, he calmly continues walking past his troops without so much as a twitch when each blast goes off.
