It is absolutely true. But no historian worth his salt pretends that the Greeks were anything but a unique phenomenon. There are scores of theories about what made the Greeks special. My personal theory is that they found ways to access their pineal glands and literally inhabited a different sensory world than we do.
That said, the Spartans paired up one older soldier and one younger .apprentice. The younger apprentice gave up the booty, cooked, washed, cleaned, etc. Both soldiers had wives at home. The Spartans' wives were also skilled in combat and killing. The entire society got by on one meal a day and shunned all conveniences and comforts. They enslaved the citizens of nearby city states and made them farm - virtually the entire male population of the Spartans were members of the military. All they did was train for war and go to war. Ever.
If *** were good for armies, armies throughout history would not have shunned ***. Leftist lightweights invariably believe that pointing to one exception disproves the rule. The exception in this case - Sparta - was an exception in about a dozen other arenas. So we would need to discard pretty much every lesson and maxim and general rule of history, were we to use the Spartans - or the Athenians or the Macedonians, for that matter - as the **** leftist *** standrard.
