The fictional "Unsullied" from the George Martin books had to have been based on the Spartans. (except the Greeks got to retain their genitals) Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
Spartans given that it was part of their social construction. Competition literally started from the moment you were born. Formation and toughness from a very early age. The Turks also practiced castration, it was basically impossible to rise to a high level of office in the Sultanate if the guy was intact, they were not allowed in most parts of the palace, eunuchs were, so they essentially became the bureaucratic leaders of the Ottomon empire. Soldiers weren't cut through, Martin simply changed the story a bit and made them so. |

Chuck Mawhinney If you're going to go there, then you have to include Simo Häyhä. Also, the Finnish soldiers put up a hell of a fight against the USSR. They should get an honorable mention. |

Confederate soldier 
too bad they weren't better bad ass warriors, they could have won.  Anytime I see these words, I immediately know that there is absolutely no saving you from your brainwashed revisionist history based on the Myth of the Lost Cause. At least make an attempt to recognize real facts about the American Civil War - not re-written sugar-coated history by a bitter, defeated people with a lost identity... Christ... |

Chuck Norris met Roy Benavidez, they shook hands as they made eye contact. After 19 1/2 hours, as a show of respect, Chuck blinked. @cavgunner Quote HistoryQuoted:
