Greetings Virilis
Meaning no disrespect for those brave men and women who are out there fighting - modern warfare destroys too much compared with that of old. I would rather face a Spartan's sword than a rocket launcher...and if I had to die, feeling it was with some honour.
(I am a daughter, grandaughter and g.g niece of artillary gun men and women on one side of my family...they are the ones I know of)

Quote:I almost cried in frustration when I saw/heard what damage has been done to the historical remains recently in Baghdad (in museums etc.)Tears were actually in my eyes ..... sadness for all that had survived for so long, to be damaged in so short a time...as well as for the humanity involved.

The enemy is less likely to get wind of an advance of cavalry, if the orders for march were passed from mouth to mouth rather than announced by voice of herald, or public notice. Xenophon
