Well I will say the picture in the link did make me chuckle. But that aside, lots of people from lots of sides assumed the same position.

The french never got this close to the enemy, they always waved the white flags from a distance!
Today's study question, boys and girls...

Took the British, Russians, Spanish, Prussians, Austrians and a number of lesser states from 1803 till 1815 to finally defeat the French revolutionary army.
And the Germans a couple weeks to turn them to quivering masses of jello?
