"And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why you never mess with a Coriscan when he's in command of the French Army," Professor Iverson concluded. Some of the students laughed, enjoying the slight joke. He looked out over the class, grinning, and thought about how much he loved teaching history. "Of course, the problem with Napoleon was that he was so successful that later Generals considered his strategies definitive. This even led quite a few of them, notably in the American Civil War, to continue using his tactics after technology had made them obsolete. Which is why you see such large casualties in that war; they were using tactics based on muskets rather than rifles and getting in close to one another before firing. Anyhow, that's all for this week. Have a good Spring Break, and don't get arrested, we have a test in two weeks." Again there was mixed laughter and a few groans that were drowned out by the sounds of about 100 book bags being filled and picked up and students shuffling feet.
