  1. "Spartan Phalanx." What? Sparta didn't invent Plalanx. And every nation of ancient using those tactics, when a bunch of men with peaks and shields walked in formation. All Greek policies fought like this, and so did Egyptians and other nations.

  2. I'm sure most modern soldiers, with all their training, wouldn't have lasted 10 minutes on a medieval battlefield. They just don't have those necessary skills.

  3. ​@oldencreek6587 Well, it is wrong to think that the armies of the High Middle Ages were made up of poorly trained peasants. In fact, during the Early and High Middle Ages, armies were very small, compact formations consisting of professional feudal warriors. There were no massive armies of peasants! It was actually in the Late Middle Ages and Early Modern period that huge armies of poorly trained peasants became common. This was because firearms had appeared, and you could hand a musket or arqebuse to any village idi0t and just tell him to shoot in that direction... In close combat, however, a medieval knight or squire would easily outperform any modern soldier. Killing people from a distance with a rifle is entirely different from killing in close quarters while maintaining composure and combat skills. That, essentially, was the point of my post.

  5. Oh, so were the damned feminists making men fight in wars? Isn't it a cursed social system, when the nobles forced ordinary peasants and ordinary people to die for their personal political and financial interests? So were "feminists" making men cut each other? Oh my God.
