Care to explain your reasoning for calling Napoleon a terrible leader? In my limited personal experience, I've never heard him described as such and can't see exactly how you'd arrive at this conclusion. I agree with your marketing sentiment entirely. Marketing merely sets the stage for the battle in your favor. Akin to taking up a position on the high ground or out-flanking your opponent prior to the battle, marketing makes the battle easier. I believe this had to be Matt's point. Seth,

He killed millions of French soldiers in his fighting and in the end he didn't gain France even an acre of territory. Sure, he won the short-term battle at Toulon, but you need something more substantive than clever marketing to win the war. Napolean was a terrible leader.
