This is the Hardest thing that I have ever heard of before, some of you may know this story, but many haven't heard this quote.
The Spartan commander Leonidas charged with holding the Themopylae pass from the invading army of the Persians.
The Spartans slim 300 soldiers had to hold the pass for "as long as possible" so that the northern city-states of Greece could unify to face the enemy, but was facing the largest army ever assembled (some estimates place the numbersanywhere between 100,000 and 1 million soldiers).
Leonidas was told that he couldn't possibly stand against such an army. He as told that
"The Persian arrows will fill the sky so as to blot out the sun."
His response was:
"Then my men will fight in the shade!"
This crosses my mind whenever I feel overwhelmed.
This is why communication is one of the most vital aspects in combat and why we dont let Junior NCO's have command.

History retold: The Persian commander's information and orders never made it to and from the front line in the choked bottleneck the Themopylans held.

not sure what your point is. If it is trying to detract from what the Spartans did, keep in mind that this pass has been defended on no less than 3 other times in history, most recently against Napoleon's troops, and everytime a small, small number of people have held the pass for a long period of time until they were betrayed and slaughtered from 2 fronts.
Communication notwithstanding 300 against 100,000 or more?
