That was great!!!!! Very informative. Thank you for the great lecture. Also, you get a chili pepper for being hot! Thanks for the great information. I can see where the USMC gets the idea of instilling toughness and character in their ranks, it makes perfect sense. Thank you again for the valuable information you have made available for us all.
The Greeks gave due importance to education, and let the intellectuals lead .The Oracle declared Socrates as the wisest man, as an example of the importance they gave to education. No wonder they went on to produce great philosophers, mathematicians, etc. The Greeks went to great lengths to acquire knowledge, Pithagoras' lengthy visit to Sumer and Egypt, even Alexanders bout with Indian priests, proves the point. When Euclid was writing "The Elements", he collected his theorems from all known sources. One such source was "Shulbo Shutra", a compendium to Yajur Veda, that contained numerous theorems on geometry, developed in India at least a 1000 years before Euclid !!!
In all, the Spartans seem to be the Germans and Athenians the French/Italians. But apart from it all, it seems like the North Korean regime has been following the Spartan system literally, minus the women exercising in the nude.
If you're reciting a quote from an ancient person, you should use the words they used. Just because you interpret it as sexist (it wasn't, the king was asked what boys ought to learn, boys grow into men) doesn't mean that you ought to change the words used.

JONATHAN SUTCLIFFE you used a lot of words to say absolutely nothing of value.
