> kings charging head first into battle
mostly a meme, ok they did it once in a while for morale

>>3224933
Because that's retarded

Because snipers currently exist.

Warfare is changed. Putin is 2/3 qualified as green little man though.

That only happened one in a million battles and even then the king was surrounded by an elite guard unit and barely in danger.

Now imagine fat and old Trump with a rifle in the streets of some Middle Eastern town.

Stopped with Tito, I think. I'm anti-commie, but that guy was as hard as steel.

It's very impractical to have your ruler in the middle of a war.

The Battle of Muret shows what can go wrong when you do that.

Spineless elites who want to live forever. Why would they go with their sacrifices to a place they won't return?

Because it would become a total disaster if that person dies

1) It's not in keeping with the nature of civilian rule in a liberal republic - and most leaders of modern nations at least want to pretend to respect civilian rule.
2) modern crises unfold extremely rapidly. the leader must be able to process information coming in through various personal and electronic means and make rapid decisions. being with the army in a camp somewhere does nothing to make this easer

If you said 5th Avenue, it'd be pretty believable

As much as I hate commies, I think their leaders have most frequently been in combat in recent histroy.
