How comes modern day military doesn't use homosexuality to its own advantage?
Could military efficiency be increased by having gay lovers in the same squad?
weren't Spartans in particular against homosexuality?
>>30669257
Because that's a myth.
What's with all the b8 today?
>Spartans in charge of not being Athenian
>>30669257
We tend to look down on pederasty these days.
>>30669269
Only if there was a woman around. It was super gay to screw a dude when you could screw a chick.
Homosexuality was practiced by a few out of sexual desperation, not whatever historical revisionists tend to clean up with their fairy wands.
>>30669269
I don't know if they were particularly against it but Athenians would accuse them of being ruled by their women because they weren't buttfucking their young boys enough.
>>30669274
>The Sacred Band of Thebes (Ancient Greek: Ἱερὸς Λόχος, Hieròs Lókhos) was a troop of picked soldiers, consisting of 150 pairs of male lovers which formed the elite force of the Theban army in the 4th century BC.
>>30669257
because sodomy is banned
>>30669269
each spartan boy had a mentor who taught him how to be a man.
It worked like a mentoring program nowadays, only with more assfucking
>>30669340
>mentoring program nowadays
Actually quite a bit like mentoring programs these days. Look up Nixon's quote about fags at the Bohemian Grove (major GOP/business club). Or Churchill's comment about 'tradition' in the royal navy.
>>30669257
>gay savages
Spartans were patricians they only liked little boys
>>30670287
this should be considered child abuse
>>30670312
>putting makeup on a kid is abuse
lmao
I guess my mom abused me because she painted my toenails too?
>>30670333
If this isn't abuse
then neither is sex
>>30670333
Yup
She abused you so much
So damn much..
That you are on 4chan now
>>30670341
I agree
>>30670349
Painting my toenails is pretty light compared to mutilating my dick at birth desu senpai
>>30669257
and the spartans are all dead soooo.
>>30669257
>gay shilling on /k/
Fuck off
>>30670395
>gay shilling is /k/
ftfy
>>30669304
Again.
A myth because Romans didn't understand jack shit despite being greekaboos.
>>30669340
>It worked like a mentoring program nowadays, only with more assfucking
They probably actually kept the assfucking to a minimum because it put one of the guys involved in a submissive position (i.e made him a woman), which was unacceptable since they were supposed to be equals. If something sexual was going on, it most likely involved handjobs, frottage, etc. Most of the time if you wanted to fuck a dude in the ass you had to use slaves and/or male prostitutes, which was acceptable as long as you remembered to fuck your wife too occasionally to produce heirs.
>>30669257
We do. It's called the Air Force.
>>30669304
>Thebes
>Sparta
This is the state of modern education. Just in case you've never realized it, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union were also not the same people.

And this is why Renly lost.

>implying Sparta and Thebes are the same
>>30669291
athenian pederasty didn't include anal penetration, the men were supposed to rub their dongs between the boys' thighs. The older person were supposed to foster the kid into a good adult, not break his colon and give him fatal blood poisoning.
>>30669257
It worked in Top Gun, gayest movie of all time.
>>30669257
Because Spartans were cucks and Athenians were the true victors.
>>30669257
>still confusing eros with philli
Modern scholarship folks...
Consider that you may put your team at risk for of your lovers life. And if a soldiers lover does especially in front of them it'll effectively shoot their moral right in the dick
>>30669286
>pederasty
Stop using words when you don't know what they mean, anon.
>>30669257
It's not only spartans.
Ancient greeks in general thought that true love can only exist between men, women were only for breeding.
Also they thought small dicks are superior because they have better aesthetics and don't hinder your movements. Big dicks were made fun of, a lot of comedies involved grossly oversized fake dicks.
>>30669340
It literally only happened once or twice as a right of passage / coming of age ritual. There are account/s that were recorded of an actual faggot doing it more than once or twice, and I think I recall one of another faggot buying a death sentenced young slave just to be able to do so. And such events was so uncommon that it was actually written down, everyday shit typically isn't what gets recorded.
Also it was just thigh sex.
tl;dr faggotry wasn't as common as revisionists want you to believe, faggots have always been faggots.
>>30670362
What the fuck dude.
>>30670375
Heterosexuality=immortality
Of course! Everyone who's died in history must secretly be gay!
>>30672662
>Everyone who's died in history must secretly be gay!
Yes, that's what were told by leftist revisionists.
What is your point?
>>30670445
Marine detected
>>30670312
>>30670312
i'd certainly consider abusing that
>>30672300
>ywn live in ancient Greece
just kill me now
>>30669257
It's called the Marines anon.
>>30670333
either I would have slapped your mother for agreeing to throw her son into such faggotry, or kicked your ass in school as a kid.
>>30670406
The only board gayer than /k/ is /fit/
>>30669257
Spartan Homosex is a myth.
>>30670445
Air Force here.
Can confirm. Space Command. Gay as hell.
Enjoy your dumbassery.
>>30670362
Just fuck this guy's shit up fampai
>>30669257
didn't thebes fall shortly after the time the sacred band was running around sodomizing each other?
>>30669274
Nice b8 m8.
It wasn't just Spartan soldiers, and it wasn't for morale.
In all of Greek society, not just the military, women were not considered full people. Men had wives and enjoyed having sex with their wives, and loved their wives. But you had sex with a woman if you want a child or just for fun. You had sex with a man if you wanted a deep emotional connection to someone you greatly respect, and to become a more complete and ideal person.
Gay sex was the exact opposite of the social and moral decline many think of it today.
>>30672548
>embracing another dude and rubbing hard dicks together isn't faggotry
I've got some news for you anon...
>>30675042
>can't even rub his dick on another dick without feeling attracted to the other guy
What a faggot. How insecure are you m8?
>>30675042
>I've got some news for you anon...
Only if the balls touch.
>>30670362
Damn that guy looks like he wants to die so fucking much.
>>30669257
yes
>>30669257
No
Getting laid kills testosterone, and the army needs that shit as much as breathable air.
>>30669257
Why do you think the marines are so deadly?
>>30669257
Because that would be gay.
>>30675300
I thought it was the extreme level of exposure to knife-hand?
>>30675539
maybe up the bum m8
>>30675285
Myth.
