Picture a battlefield 10,000 Donkeys marching from the east looking for new grazing grounds lead by a full maned charismatic male lion.

 From the west approaches an army of 10,000 blood starved lions led by an old weathered donkey limping at the forefront.

The lions catch the scent and move forward , eyes gleaming, mouths watering. 

The donkeys spot the sea of golden murder prowling forth and panic. Their fearless leader lets out a roar but his cry for order is unheard. Some of the high ranking donkeys then assume their lion leader has plotted this all along and lead a stampede crushing him in their frenzy.

By this point in time the massive pride of lions is upon the donkeys, ravaging their ranks with tooth and claw until none are left breathing. The lions now full, and tired lay down as the sun sets over the blood soaked battlefield. 

An old lone donkey is seen walking into the sunset as this tragic story comes to a close. 

The moral of the story is; a proper leader must be chosen for the society and the times, one that the people trust and one capable of leading and motivating people.  Additionally, proper communication is imperative and in some cases a translator is required. 

I'm not sure that old donkey made a command.... I wonder if he was just a bystander caught in the midst of a natural battle of prey and predator?

Epic story and i love that you included the limp in the donkey. Finesse

None can be said to be more stronger than other. Any one them can be stronger, it's just the state of mind and the hunger of victory. A leader is the most important part of any army. If you now how lead, control and manage the manpower and resources then a small army can also win the most difficult wars. As we take the example from the famous movie "300". In the movie a small army of 300 warriors won the war. And the example of managing and planning can be seen in the one the smallest living being i.e. 'Ant'. Ants always roam around in groups and they maintain discipline and act in the well planned way. And small ants carry big insects. Now if we compare a Lion and a Donkey then Lion is know as the sysmbol of fearlessness and also known as the king of animals and Donkey is known for his fooloish acts. So a Lion can be said as a perfect example as a leader as we know that a Lions also know how to take stand as a king and they have small areas in Jungles also as their kingdom which they protect from the other lions and dangerous animals like a king or leader defends it's territory. So I want to conclude that A army of donkey led by a Lion will be stronger.

A lion is a very strong and brave Animal , it's brave and stronger than a donkey. An army of donkeys led by a lion is stronger an army of lions led by a donkey because the army led by a lion has a brave and strong leader who can motivate the donkeys to the unthinkable but the army of lion led by donkey will not be strong their leader is very weak and can't motivate them ,

Secondly the army of donkeys led lion will be stronger because the lion will be able to control and and they will also cooperate to get better result but the army of lions led by donkey will be weak because he will not able to control them because the subjects are more stronger and the leader , they will not listén to him and even look down on him which can lead to a lot of confusion and arguments which disorganised them during war

Depends on the leader. If the donkey is a strong minded one and a clever tactician than I would definitely opt for an army of lions led by a donkey, but if the donkey is just...a donkey than yeah I would put my money on an army of donkeys led by a clever lion. He should know how to organize them to win the battle.

Bottom line is the leader that too often wins a war. Soldiers are just puppets played by the leader. If he knows how to play the game well then it's definitely a won battle.
