I recall an instance where a unit was hard pressed by the enemy
(Romans, I think?  but it could be Napoleonic French, the details blur
when you get old, you know).  This unit's centurion had tried
prodding, bellowing, cursing, etc, to motivate the troops--no results.
In disgust, he took the eagle and threw it into enemy unit.  His
cohort promptly broke the enemy--catching the eagle before the
barbarians got their hands on it.
