Pillow fights are next

I love the British Army's answer to armouring vehicles: Use mattresses.

The best thing since the horse-drawn Zeppelin. Still, there's some room for the more conventional.

Didn't the Roman army protect itself against some projectile weapon by hanging blankets from its spears? Solid armor got pierced, limp blankets stopped the projectiles?

Or am I remembering something from an Asterix comic?
