H25958 Revolutionary Modern Armed Forces Soldier Warfare Co-op Cardboard Cutout Standee Standup

81x46 inch cardboard cutout of a Revolutionary War soldier and the modern day Armed Forces soldier back to back on the battlefield. In the 1700s, because muskets were notoriously inaccurate, soldiers stood in tight, linear formations to deliver "massed fire." This created a wall of lead aimed at an opposing line. Modern infantry operates in small, decentralized fire teams or squads. High-accuracy rifles and the threat of explosive weaponry make standing in a line suicidal; today's soldiers prioritize cover, concealment, and dispersion.
