Duh!!! if one reads your posts Roach, one may get the idea that a small band of Persians came guns blazing to Greece, roasted the native effeminate savages and then danced back to Persia, the poor destroyed natives only making up stories of victory to hide their endless shame. Are you sure you even want to take part in threads that have to do with ancient Greece? Your positions are really strange to say the least. Where did you read that the Athenians or the Greeks in general looked down on military training as something cowardly? And I want to ask you again : Are you really 16 years old or is it a mistake in your details?
