    IIRC Tacitus (or was Caesar?) said that Germanics were tall and well build but were capable for just short burst of physical power display, they lacked stamina and were not able to do extended...

  6. Re: Famous Battles that are not as important we make them out to be

    Yep, I do think as well that Teutoborg battle is one of the classic examples of blown of proportions victory. The reality is that the Roman army of Germanicus returned few years later and trampled...
  7. Re: What was the single most important/pivotal battle in your country's history?

    Its obvious that on average females are weaker then males, however I don't think a well trained and physical fit woman can't be good for military service.

  12. Re: Romania learns the Greek lesson ''Not joining the Euro in 2019'' nor anytime soon.

    Unfortunately this is true. It needs either a big shock (like a serious war or so) either an "enlightened dictator" (short time one maybe) to change things for better.
    And after that a very clear...

    Re: Women in the marines: test results

    Mixed gender units I think are a bad idea, especially due to sexual tension.
    Obviously lowering physical standards (to allow more women) is another bad idea.
