It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Ultraman Decker.
As we reach the usual bit of whining at this point of the online begging bowl, I feel a sudden need to talk about the 300 Spartans.
Who were actually the 300 Spartans and 6,700 other guys. And even after most of the others had retreated included 700 Thespians, and another 400 Thebans--who admittedly were being held hostage.
Who, yes, held off a superior force for a few days--but accomplished nothing strategically by doing so. But gosh, it sure sounds impressive doesn't it? Why focus on the people who actually won the war against Persia when you can focus on the Spartans, and make them your symbol of "Western" civilization?
The fact that they went on to sell out to the Persians can be ignored.
