\'Gates of Fire\' By Steven Pressfield
#61
Sorry, boys and girls, I'm back.

...aha, so land-owning knights don't swear??? ever?? mmm. :wink:

'Nuts': Laconic? Perhaps. Eloquent? I think not. :lol:

Also, I don't recall my defence of Pressfield being based on experience of 'conscripts' or screen 'grunts'. Rather, I believe that he has, for me at least, captured the essence of the timeless human experience in battle.

I have said enough.
