Napoleon's duty.

History said that once Napoleon was walking around his camp during the war trip. And he found a guards who was sleeping on post. According to the law of war-time this soldier must be killed because there is no mercy for the soldier, who, is falling asleep on duty, endangers the lives of his brothers. What did the Napoleon? He took an unexpected solution: Napoleon took a guards gun, threw it over his shoulder and took soldier post.Sergeant who arrived with the change saw that the guard was asleep, and the emperor was on duty. On the next day news about Emperors duty spread through the camp and marching column. I think that soldiers wouldn't hesitated to give their lives going into battle with such leader? You say stupid? In many cases, the generosity is deciding the success and a smart leader must skillfully use it. Can you say that Napoleon made a mistake when he forgive the soldier and saved his life? Or do you think it is better to be a strong war leader without pity?

I think that saving the guard's life was the right thing to do. By doing this Napoleon set a good example to the others soldiers and maybe inspired them.

I think that he did a very good thing by not killing the soldier and taking his spot. Even though that man fell asleep no body deserves to die for such a stupied reason. Naploeon was an a amazing leader and i think that it was the little things like that, that made people like him so much.
