That post was a little ... simplistic.For me, and this is just a personal thing, the bit that's particularly interesting - and maybe worth a little idealizing, though I don't think it's a necessity - is the specific action of the Spartans and the others who stood at Thermopylae. To get a little Conanesque, what matters is that few stood against many, willing and expecting to die, to defend their way of life and their personal freedom and their homelands. I may not agree with many aspects of their particular philosophy, but bravery - that I can appreciate.</blockquote>
