The Original "Band of Brothers"

By William Shakespeare

Based on the actual events of the historical Battle of Agincourt (more) on 25 October 1415, when England's King Henry V and his Band of Brothers, outnumbered by at least 5 to 1 by French forces, used courage, spirit, strategy and English longbows to soundly thrash the French. Final casualties were believed to be as few as 200 English and as many as 10,000 French.

Moral of the story: It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it the size of the fight in the dog.
