I guess that it is fun to speculate about these things, but, every time I read or hear about this kind of topic of discussion, I cannot help thinking of this old joke. You are in a room with Superman, Spiderman and Batman. In the center, there is a bomb about to explode that could be deactivated by pulling off a wire. Who will reach it first? The answer, of course, is YOU because the others in the room are imaginary beings. Similarly, I suspect that what we often think about how battles were fought by soldiers of the past has more to do with the aesthetics of movie making rather than the nasty, confusing, undignified affair that probably was.
