Why ancient Romans and Italians were so good at warfare, and modern Italians are not
#3
Hello, Joe

It's amazing that someone answered Corvus' ethnically biased question. I'm 75 years old, mostly "modern" Italian (at least 50%), and willing to bet (when it comes down to a powerful hit with a sword or sagaris) I could put him in the hospital. Heed this: if a modern Italian seems martially reticent, it's because he's not pis*ed-off enough. Cool
