When the
Mongol hordes of
Genghis Khan were advancing across
Asia they used a lot of
psychological tactics to gain
victory. When they first attacked a village they would kill most of the men, burn a lot of the buildings, and
rape most of the women. My
intuition says that the term
Mongolian clusterfuck comes from the fact that there were inevitably more Mongols than
women, thus they would swarm around any woman found and forcibly
penetrate any orifice available. If there was not a free orifice, it is said that they would use their
daggers to create new ones.
The men whose lives were spared were given
horses and told to ride to surrounding villages and spread the news of the
invasion. This worked wonderfully, as most people in the surrounding villages quickly
ran away upon hearing the
news.
