Love help: So i was sitting in class today and were starting to learn about the Trojan love story… - Help.com

So i was sitting in class today and were starting to learn about the Trojan love story…

thats not why im here to post though.

We watched the trailer of Troy and it got me thinking.

Does Modern war or the Old war interest you?

by old war i dont mean like… civil war and stuff or medieval times i mean back when it was good!

Romans…Greeks…Persians…
so Which interests you more?
Tactics done in the old old days or the tactics of today?

personally…
i love the old wars with the Spartans, Romans, alexander the great

modern war not so much, but i love FPS shooter games…
the new tech we have is very amazing but i still find the older wars better.

Lets see your opinion

yeah true

you really dont even have to send anyone to training now, guns come with instruction manuals:

First, turn the safety off
Second, Do not aim at your allies
Third, aim for the enemy
Fourth, Pull the trigger
Fifth, repeat until battle is over.

I think the way wars were conducted back then, needed more skill in terms of strategy and such, there was something more sincere about it, since alot of those who fought were just mere citizens and not necessarily trained well enough for the combat they faced, but I agree it was more face to face. Even as late as WW1 … there was a level of respect against those you fought… how in dog fights… one pilot would actually wait for the other to reload their weapon… always got me. Interesting post!

It was based on a graphic novel, it wanted to keep the animated kind of look about it which it did amazingly well if you’ve ever read the original. And a depressing film means it’s stupid?

Old war is so much more interesting! and it has like little secret scandals here and there which are pretty interesting…like cleopatra and mark anthony and all that stuff…I love history…well I don’t like what some people did, but it’s interesting to learn about

Honestly, No war interest me. I just find war a dull and boring topic. If I had to choose, I’d say the old wars though.

The old wars involved more strategem on the field of battle, today is all cloak and dagger and covert missions. so definitely the old wars. Troy is one of my favorite movies. Awesome choriography.

….And I love strategy. the moving of the pieces of war, the pushing and retreating, the sheer brilliance involved in the ploys of the commanders. Its like chess, using every piece to win, big or small. Ancient Greek and Roman was my favorite Era of warfare.
