When the leader puts on his helmet and they start running in formation that scene really brings back memories. I can remember running in formation with our combat boots one, (Before they started allowing us to wear tennis shoes to prevent injuries.) You could hear those boots all across the post early in the morning. 82nd Airborne Jump School is located there at Fort Benning. They would all get up about the same time, stretch a little bit, and then start running. We sung in cadence, too. Yeah,...try to run like that for 2 or more miles singing. As if running wasn't hard enough. LOL. It didn't matter if you were in your car or what. Laying in your bed--you could hear the pounding of our boots hitting the payment keeping the beat to the songs we sang. "Your left, your left, your left, right, left...!" Never will forget it.

Sgt Artyom I have an Eagle as my account avatar because I am an American-Italian. One can be American and still be proud of being a descendant of another ancient race or group of people. You really have little to no brains in that head of yours evidence by the logic you have shown in your two comments.
Sgt Artyom Even more fail logic on your part in your second comment, lol. Why would I want Italy's colors on my Eagle? Italy's current colors did not exist back during the days of the Roman Empire and Republic and her people to which i am proud to have descended from. And if you were not an idiot you would not have asked why my symbol is an eagle, the eagle or Aquila in Latin is the symbol of both the Roman Republic/Empire and America among other nations. Thus I have the Eagle which represents both my Roman Heritage and my current American heritage, and the Red, White, and Blue because those are the colors of the American Republic of my birth to which I love.
/)_- Dude.... Italians are descendants of Ostrogoths. And a bit of Roman blood but there's much more Ostrogoth blood. And yes , I'm a pure-blood Italian that isn't a coward or a Gypsy.
My dad is from central Italy and he’s got long roots but my mom is Lombardi (Lombardi invaded cisalpine Gaul in the 3rd century) so I have ancestors in the rise and fall of Rome.

First culture to adapt a rotating conveyor belt of front line destruction. Ten minutes of stab stab, whistle blows, line rotates front to back. Certainly keeps exhaustion at bay. Brilliant.
Damir Pryce depends on how many children those senetors had. if one senator had like 200 kids, then yes, almost all white western white people could trace back to him
Sgt Artyom what the fuck is with your dumb ass logic? Who wants to be a Roman, they were lazy fucks who had slaves do everything for them, and had the poor peasant boys to fight their battles, who wants that as an ancestry? Yes, A roman is italian, but an italian isnt always roman
Yes, the Cataphracts had some successes over the Romans. But it was rarely in situations where they were able to perform this formation, and rarely without Parthian horse archer support. Also, you should do some research yourself, the Romans successfully sacked Babylon 7 times. They must have been doing something right. xD

No argument about that. Historical accuracy (or lack thereof) aside, I just like that scene because it was cool.

Not criticizing, just explaining my previous statement. All that aside, well done. If they had RUclips back then, your video would have made a hell of a recruiting commercial.
My prayers go for Roman soldiers killed in many far worse defeats than was Teutoburg "forest" and yet they are not popularly remembered as mach as soldiers from overpropagated Teutoburg.
Teutoberg was avenged through Germanicus royally kicking the Cherusci's ass in several battles, he dealt them double the casualties and destroyed their lands. A good revenge if any.
It was so close to be part of the "new world". But the ERE ( eastern roman empire ) by that time hadn't much land and it wasn't a house power for a colonial empire. It is a pity that Rome felt like that.
@@Phed98 Venice is the state that ruined them, mate. They stabbed their fellow European Christians in the back with a treachery that rivals that of Caesar.
Which makes it longest lasting state in human history which is hardly a failure.Some might object that ancient Egypt or China lasted even longer but these two polities were occasionally conquered and ruled by other foreign powers-while Roman state was not.
I am obsessed with Rome and its history. I love it
