The idea that kings should lead from the front really lost favor after
the fall of Napoleon the III, he was one of the last emperors who
insisted on leading his troops from near the front. The problem was that
while he was a Napoleon he wasn't the Napoleon.

A long long time ago in a land far far away the king was expected to be out in
front of the pawns leading them.
Now they lead from the rear. Preferably from another continent. That was most
likely the scariest part of the idea of nuclear war to them, there was no rear
for them to lead from.

financing Vietnam from 'donations' to War Bonds instead of deficit

Why
My point was that those that hadn't exploded wouldn't and would still
look like solid shot. The would weigh considerably less than solid shot
and would be even less likely than solid shot to create craters at the
end of their flight.. Historically Russian shells were notoriously
unreliable.
Not to mention the fact that he was scared as hell because he was under
fire. It's illogical that he would go around picking up heavy solid shot
to arrange a photo shoot.
