Re: Second best.

Any man that can walk over 30km a day with armour, shielding and weaponry is a man that is well trained, very disciplined, determined and very strong. These men were not average.

However, from this and other posts on other forums there appears to be a societal intensity we don't see in Canada. The rivalries between ethnic groups appear to be on th...
