"All the nations of the world lined against us"
Brave men not allowing a hunchback to join the battle formation, not to be "mean" but because his "weakness" endangered all of the unit...in other words no "preferences only performance".
Understanding that some men are willing to fight while others will sell you out back home in order to get power and gold...
Pride in men being "manly" and Athenians loving logic and "young boys"....bwahahahahah
No wonder the libs are running around holding their crotch and doing the "pee-pee" dance and hate it so..... I took my son to see it. Eyes covered for the nipple and gratuitous sex temptation scene, but otherwise no bloodier than Saving Private Ryan, Gladiator, Braveheart, or Black Hawk Down....
Men fighting and willing to die honorably for freedom against the murdering hordes from Persia.... priceless.
Sounds as though you are raising a good son and a
patriot. That, my friend, makes you - priceless.
Last night History channel had a special on the battle of Thermopylae. Fascinating the way the Persians engineered their invasion by crossing the sea with a type of caisson bridge.
The training techniques for the Spartan's make gladiators look like girls. Mothers gave up their boys at the age of seven for military training. The King's son had to prove himself by killing or lion ... or he was killed by the lion. Brutal.
It will be on again March 30th.
