“Cow” in French is ‘beuf’ more or less so I don’t see how ‘Agincourt’ has anything to do with cattle, I think it’s just a name of a nearby church...

Cow in French is ‘la vache’.

I think Neidermeyer is referring to the Battle of Cowpens, a classic reverse slope defense in the War for Independence...which is actually, IMHO, a better analogy for this debate.

The final battle in the film The Patriot was loosely based on Cowpens, in which an overconfident and hubristic British force was met by mostly militia who feigned a retreat. The British pursued over a small hill only to find themselves facing a line of waiting regulars.

Similarly, a hubristic Obama arrived in Denver fully expecting to carry the day, and was met by overwhelming resistance he did not expect to find there.

Agincourt, a great victory for the English over the French in the Hundred Years War...

Cowpens, a great victory for the colonists over the British Army in the Revolutionary War.

Yes they are analogous!
