What it your position on capital punishment? Should it be banned?

>respecting right to life of people that don't respect others
Also why this light cavalaryman on OP pic wears armour on arms instead of legs? Aren't they more vulnerable since he is higher?

>>866716
Fuck your topic that nigger has no leg armor as cavalry what the fuck

>>866861
kek there could have been a shortage.
That or he wants to be faster on his horse or even in foot on foot combat once his steed is spooked to the ground.

>>866864
Like seriously, why the fuck cuirassers started to drop their leg armour instead of arm armour, specially when melee weapons were becoming shorter and shorter. See 3/4 plate, half plate and quarter plate.

Criminals must pay their debt to society with sweat or blood.

>>866871
Even if there was a shortage ge should still prioritize legs over arms.
>faster on horse
How so?

>What it your position on capital punishment?
The cons outweigh the pros.
>Should it be banned?
Yes.
>What is best method?
Whatever costs less. Which I would imagine being the guilottine.

Its not like his death will directly benefit anyone. Death penalty can only prevent new crimes.

Not even memeing, this is literally just "talk about your political views"

Less armor == less weight
This soldier might be thinking of the probability of taking it to the ground, where he'd have the advantage. War was massively different back then, but that goes without saying.

>What is best method?
banishment

I...is that guy wearing a fucking t-shirt? I'm all for the capital punishment of the fag that drew this.

You can't drop arm armor because your forearm is exposed when you attack with your sword/pick. They dropped leg armor because firearms become the maon danger and noone is gonna aim to your leg with a gun. Also if you're on a horse a leg injury is much less debilitating than any other injury.
About short weapons:remember that by the time leg armor is dropped, no infantryman is gonna do anything but square up when faced with cavalry, his sidearm is only used agaist other infantry.

>Less armor == less weight
But if you armoured this way, whole centre of mass is positioned higher and weight is placed worse over body.
