Another way of saying that theres a lot of bullshit in history books to support the agendas of a group in power to make that group look more like a clear victor without any negative qualities, and make another group look like they met their downfall. In reality, questioning what the pen writes is enough to make you wonder if there are any winners at all with something like a war.
The pen is mightier than the sword is what the same people you need swords for in the first place tell you.

B. F. Sword

Share definition
Big Fucking Sword. A common fantasy trope. This is usually the weapon carried by the protagonist. Can symbolize the burden the hero has to carry, but also the ridiculous amount of power they have. You can find B. F. Swords used in most many popular media these days (anime, videogames, comic books) , with characters like Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy and his Buster Sword, Guts from Berserk or the Odinsword from the Thor comics. This concept probably originates from the Excalibur myth.
The leader of the group is always the one to carry the B. F. Sword.
