(Terrorists 1. Do not fight as armies but carry out acts of terror and 2. Still do not act as cannon fodder, but rather as suicide bombers. Also, cannon fodder is not controlled sacrifice. Sun Tzu referred to sacrificing certain units in order to defeat the enemy, like a game of chess, but cannon fodder tactics are about drowning the enemy in blood.

That's actually not true - the construction of plate armour became possible because of that development, but it becoming commonplace had nothing to do with that.

Please read up on how gambesons are constructed, because the similarity is striking. Also, no regular foot soldier wields an estoc. That's a knight's weapon, meant for dueling other knights.)
