<fantasy>
The General arrived in the artillary position, and gives orders.
"At x Hours, you will fire an nuclear shell towards position [x,y].
There will be no danger to yeurselves, none whatsoever. I have to
return to headquarters before that, to watch what damage is done to 
the enemy. That's it, men."

Unless the men were exceptionally stupid, they would be back at
headquarters shortly afther him.

In Vietnam, the VietCong discovered that the safest place in an
action against US forces was within 100 yerds of the Americans.

And then they would be shot. They were also stupid for returning after
disobeying an order in war time...
