Every President has ruined someone ' s life at some point . That ' s a pretty easy bet to win . <| sep |> At this point , I ' m going to assume yes . <| sep |> I ' m not gonna hit you with something new , your dad done enough of that . I ' m just joking tho . What dad ? <| sep |> You don ' t wanna clutter up your forces to make it vulnerable to ranged weapons . An example that comes to mind was in the west indians would charge in in waves . The first wave was meant to take bullets the second wave would come in and mop up resistance while the third wave would come in to support if need be . In world war one in particular if you just pushed out a hundred thousand men into no mans land there would be no room to manuever , you would basically be forced to walk while machine gun fire chipped away rapidly at your ranks . So this would result in even high casualties . Waves were organized to send out as many men as you could without them bumping into each other .
