Some malnourished Romans against robust Marine infantry. Not even close in physical capability."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

Numbers and tactics were the key to Roman success, not the proficiency of the average Roman legionary. In fact, the fact that the average Roman soldier was of middling physical character was the key to Roman success as it allowed them, following reforms, to militarize nearly their entire population and be devoted to a disciplined military philosophy centered on unit cohesion, not individual ability.Originally posted by kentonio View PostWell as the legions managed to march across Europe and conquor most of it along the way, I reckon they probably did ok physically."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

Then there is a problem. If germans still are nazis we (danes) apparently have missed that. There might be nutcases, but overall, we don't consider or teach childern that germans are nazis.Originally posted by Ecthy View PostWith or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things.
