The importance of Vision in times of Crisis
~
Napoleon staunchly believed that MORALE mattered more than resources, power, or even numbers
Morale is that FRENZIED feeling of energy you feel when marching with a Crowd
It is the collective SPIRIT of the army

Napoleon was fantastic at EVOKING morale out of his army, even in times of dire struggle where the odds were stacked against them
He know how all of us wish to be A PART OF SOMETHING GREAT, and how BRAVERY was the only path to that experience
Fortune favors the brave

He knew how to inspire bravery:
"Hitherto you have been fighting for barren rocks, made memorable by your valor"
He knew how to scold:
"Soldiers: I am not satisfied with you; you abandoned yourselves to a panic; you ran when a handful of brave men might have stopped an army"

He knew how to scold:
"Soldiers: I am not satisfied with you; you abandoned yourselves to a panic; you ran when a handful of brave men might have stopped an army"
But most importantly he knew how to promise
He knew what lifted the spirits of a suffering solider was a VISION OF VICTORY
THIS VISION is the key to igniting the flame of MORALE within a man
This gave them an appetite to FIGHT FOR something
Hear Napoleon's words:

Hear Napoleon's words:
"Soldiers, you are naked and ill-fed!
Government owes you much and can give you nothing. The patience and courage you have shown in the midst of these rocks are admirable;
but they gain you no renown; no glory results to you from your endurance...

but they gain you no renown; no glory results to you from your endurance...
...it is my design to lead you into the most fertile plains of the world.
Rich provinces and great cities will be in your power; there you will find honor, glory, and wealth"

What is happening in America is a WAR OF VISIONS
Finally this conflict of visions is beginning to reach boiling point
These visions don't resolve and "learn to get along"
One vision DESTROYS the other eventually...

The conservatives have a vision of America as the leader of the world with all their factories back at home and their culture old school
The left DON'T want this, they want a reset of the world to where the world is led by a council of experts and America takes orders

What these two visions promise to the people, at various levels, is where this crisis will be decided
...And the power of the leaders of each side to ignite these visions clearly in the mind of their followers
will be the force multiplier that settles the destiny of the world
