"More importantly, what does this have to do with Bear Pit topics of discussion?"
Less than a week after I read "Gates of Fire" I enlisted with an 18X contract. The valor of the Spartans at the Hot Gates would be too hard for me to put into words, much less fit in a forum reply. It fits the bear pit topics of discussion because it epitomizes Warriorhood at its finest. The actions the Spartans took at the Hot Gates trivializes any situation we could find ourselves in. By learning what the Spartans went through, it helps us learn what it takes to be true Warriors, dispell fear and get in the mindset we need to be in to fight above and far beyond any limitations men usually set on themselves.
