Explanation: Australia, back in the 1930s, organized a military expedition to cull the out-of-control emu population, with rifles and machine-guns. The emus won. And without any formal officer corps, even!
(the other leaders depicted are Julius Caesar, Genghis Khan, and Napoleon, all military leaders famed for their brilliance)
I appreciate you explained the joke even if unnecessary.
I generally try to assume that some people coming in are just starting to dip their toes into the deep, deep pool of historical minutiae, so I try to be thorough in explaining things! History should be accessible for everyone, and humor is a great way to get one’s feet wet!
