I pity them, looking down upon anyone who accepts the title.

You ever hear Clint Eastwood refer to anyone, forget himself, anyone as a "cool guy"?
Nah but I don’t look to movies to influence my idea of what’s cool.

Hey you say you do your own research- ever hear of confirmation bias?

I don't think either of us want to know what went on during Trump's flights on Epstein's underage sex plane.

You're probably right, there are tens of millions of people that would fight tooth and nail to keep that fat pedophile out of the White House. The homophobia isn't helping though.

Wouldn’t American city states with hoplite armies be cool though? Houston would be hard to beat

are we gonna be goin up against other sword and sandal dudes?

rather extensive research has been done to estimate how many roman soldiers it would take to over come a marine corp squad, or an abrams tank.

every wargame scenario has the squad (8) eliminate a few cohorts until out of ammo, or that single squad with resupply eliminates literal legions of roman soldiers. im omitting details like terrain, obviously if the marines can't make tactical withdrawls they get overrun. we're not considering weapons maintenance and wear and tear.

abrams tank without resupply kills an entire legion and probably more

it can't ever be breached, has 3 machine guns and a 120mm gun, after all that ammo is gone, it just drives over soliders until it runs out of fuel and battery, which could theoretically go for days

so uh what are we gonna do with our spears
