How could it have been good? Sending your men out into a minefield to die does not make any sense to me. Didn't the Russians have mine-sweeping tanks in World War 2? I know some other countrys had them, but didn't the Russians have them? If so, I don't see why they would sacrafice their men instead of sending out the mine-sweepers instead.

hmm..what a tactic!
Zapp Brannigan from Futurama defeated the Killbots the same way: He knew that every killbot had a maximum kill-number after which it would shut down. So he just sent wave after wave of his men against the killbots until they all shut down.
