tony blair : the latest war criminal ?

[zeitghost]

What was foolish about that?

That the legions never came back?

That the legions never came back?

Ah but in Threaded's fantasy world, he knows something we don't.

[zeitghost]

Ah.

Of course.

The reason they never came back is that they were time warped to 2358... and he's been there & seen them.

That the legions never came back?

Yes, but there are many examples of that in Roman history.

Consider that after the civil war Augustus had all these troops, he managed to get many of them pensioned off, but a hard core remained. He sent them off to the furthest corners, but they were still troublesome so tried giving them something to do, and they nearly all died. Result! I bet he was really upset about it...

What was foolish about that?

Weren't the Romans a bunch of short arses and the Germanic tribes a bunch of big arses? Some things don't change.
