as gruesome as that point is, and I do not feel that 21st century soldiers are pussies by any standard... I have to admit that ancient battles had to have been some of the most horrendous events in world history. The smell, the sounds and the intimacy of it all.... I wonder what they called Post Traumatic Stress Disorder back then? a bad day
