Sheepdog Tip of the Day, After Combat tip 5
Napoleon said, "The moment of greatest vulnerability is the instant immediately after victory." As soon as the troops relaxed, there was a parasympathetic backlash of enormous magnitude. It is more than just letting down your guard; it is a powerful physiological collapse. This process is not unlike sex in the male body: You are up, you are rocking, you are down, and you are not getting back up again. There has been a physical, hormonal discharge and your body needs time to recharge itself.
