  • Can someone help me?

    Whas Bonaparte just a corporal?

    Did i miss something in the english lesson, or in the history lesson?

  • @markaka1000 - No, he was never a corporal, that nickname reflected the comradeship he enjoyed with the enlisted men of the French army.

  • Please read the prophecies of Linda Newkirk at prophecies org

    Many important warnings from our Lord about the Antichrist, the Two Witnesses, Revelation 12, the false rapture/alien invasion.

    Deluded preachers and televangelists will promote the invasion as the return of Jesus, many will want to escape as war and chaos break out.

    The warnings about Obama are very sobering and shocking!

    False prophets in the churches! Counterfeit miracles!

    Please share these warnings with others

  • enjoying ur wonderful song...God bless MK!

  • @markaka1000 If I remember correctly he got that nickname because of his conduct during the battle of Lodi in northern Italy. During the battle Napoleon, originally trained as an artillery officer, personally aimed artillery pieces several times, a task normally entrusted to a corporal. Someone correct me if I am in error though.

  • He was made a corporal at Lodi, Castiglione sergeant, and hence the nickname Little Corporal, Napoleon spent a long time among the soldiers. And who can say the chain that unites the smallest due to larger events

  • @markaka1000 your question is very interesting, I found this explanation on the web

    His extreme youth, when he took command of the army of Italy, or any other cause, had established a singular purpose, that after every battle, most old soldiers gathered in council, and gave a new grade to their young general: when he returned to camp, he was received by old mustache, who greeted his new title.

  • @markaka1000 I think that this is a style figure to mean some shortness or litlleness of spirit - opposite to grandeur - that the author doesn't want to be a Napoleon attribute. it means also that napoleon came to emperor from almost zero (corporal), but his mind and spirit allways stood small.

    (sorry for any possible error. english is not my mother language).

  • Dulcet......

  • @dervanir Thank you for putting "songwriter" above "guitar player" - it is much more important and valuable

  • MARKNIFICENT!!!

  • Wow! As good as any Dylan song!  I like that he references God, too. Of course, I like all his songs. They're all great!
