No Insult But Its Hypocracy

This Post wont do me any favours but here goes. I think a little Pot calling kettle is kinda Evident.
I go with the outpour of Condemnation of Porthonians for 300. The gratuatous Violence. The Anti This anti That. On and on... All this from people who read book after book and debate and discuss a topic of Alexander. Who was primarily an expert and exactor of death Massacre and everything else that goes with a warring Conqueror.
Alexander was pre.eminent in the art of whole sale slaughter and distruction. I would be anti Alexander because of that as basically he was a product of what is war Glory and Conquest.
I am pretty sure the Macedonians didnt tickle or humainly Slaughter the Persians or others they put to the Sword. Its fair to say extreme butchery was the norm of the day. Not one neat little stab or cut and you were dead. Its fare to say a human can take a hell of a lot of hacking before you actually die. Unless off course yopu were stabbed through the head or decapitated.
Some argue 300 is too graphic. well if ancient warfare aint graphic see the trees for the woods. I do think to dismiss 300 and still talk and follow Alexander is very hypocritical.
Apart from the fantasy of Monsters etc. I recall one reviewr saying a movie that was actually a war film not one with a silly undertone. to dismiss 300 totally to me is living in denial.
If anyone actually believes war is anything more than Lying Politicians kings rulers etc leading and sometime forcing people to butcher each other on a pretence of some silly lies.
