I think that was more the Eastern Romans that maintained that poo poo. The Ottomans did a pretty good job of maintaining after that until they were given the boot. Since then it's all gone to poo poo.

The eastern empire maintained in the sense that they didn't slide backward to tribes, mud huts and poo poo like the western empire did. Except for Justinian, who was pre-Islam, the east did just that; maintained, but didn't advance. Particularly after the 11th century, the eastern empire sort of just held on, while Islam was just hitting its stride. (But it only lasted a couple more centuries until the Mongols hosed it all up)

I gotta say, there is an eerie parallel between the current fighting in the Middle East and the European wars of religion right after the Protestant reformation.

Oh good, only another four hundred years left, then.

I'm pretty sure these middle eastern wars never stopped. How the gently caress do you think the Saud's came to power back in the day. They rolled up and took a huge poo poo on their religious enemies.

I know that Putin and pals make it hard on Russo American relations but I've always secretly admired the Russian military for all the poo poo they have to go through. They look like they'd be really fun to get blackout drunk with.

I kind of feel like Curtis LeMay and Ghengis Khan would get along really well for some reason. They kind of had the same mindset, make war as horrible as possible for your opponent and they won't want to fight you.

I'm still not entirely unconvinced that the government/military didn't force Manning's gender transition as a means to discredit him. :tinfoil: I know that's kind of an insane thing to admit, but there it is.
