Military Tactics and Technology are the Grammar of Politics.

This is evidenced by the

Age of Revolutions and supported by Clausewitz, when the average citizen could
possess a weapon equal to that of the average infantryman- who was little different
than the infantryman except in training and dress. This was changed by the
ultimate anti-personnel weapons of the late 19 th century and the 20th century, the
machine-gun and the tank, which the average citizen and infantryman are
powerless against. In this light, horses like those used to conquer the Pannonian
Basin are symbols of military elitism and social power- since the two were indivisible
for the warlords of the middle ages.
