Fire of Liberty
Tony Perry and Robert W. Welkos have a good article in the Chicago Tribune which notes that our Marines are really into the blockbuster "300" and some even see similarities between their experience in Iraq and the 300 brave actions of the Spartans(700 Thespians as well) as they minded the gap against tens of thousands of Persians at Thermopylae.
A Beacon of Economic and Political Freedom for the World.
About Me
- jstarley05
- Ever since I was a little child I have had a great interest in the news and events throughout the world. As a young child I also garnered a great respect for this nation and its desire to spread God's given rights of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness to the dark corners of the world which have been denied such rights for far too long. Call me idealistic if you will but if folks don't talk about and promote such ideas their society and way of life that we've grown accustomed to could blow away much like sands in a desert.

Lucy and I went to see '300' last week. It's a solid movie - total testosterone ride - so it's no surprise young service-men like the movie.
It's a cross between Gladiator and Lord of the Rings, but with a much smaller plot than either.
Basically pretty simple - 300 guys kill a lot more guys invading their country. 300 guys get killed when double-crossed, but inspire their govt (who was against the initial sending of troops) to send more.
'bout it.
