      Well, I think he focuses not at cleaning itself, but at the "ritual" of cleaning. It was not something "having" to be done... it was kinda of enjoying it!

    Greeks "played" with the name of outpost Harry renaming it to "Haros" meaning the angel of death from ancient Greek Haron the ferryman of Hades. For being such a deadly battleground.

    We not only serve our mandatory tour, we remain reserves (as per the Defence Ministry) till the end of our lives. All of us get served walking papers to our units throughout our lives. My grandfather was a Commando for 4 years, that was the term back then, my dad 4 years also...
    We, first and foremost, are born soldiers and we die as soldiers... We just choose what to do with our lives in the meantime...
    Korean war is a controversial matter for Greek history. Most Greeks will always disapprove of engaging in foreign land conflict. Especially for political and financial reasons. That's the difference of a "soldier" to a "troop".
    We give our lives instantly to defend our land and loved ones... Not to harm others, abroad.
    That's why he hold this land-the most strategic dot on the planet- for 5000 years... That's why we don't hold any other elsewhere...

      I'm German and my husband is Greek. He didn't like his military service and talked about his military training as something a bit ridiculous. Then one day I asked him if he would go out and fight for Greece in case of an attack and with no hesitation he said he'd die for Greece.
      I've never met a German who said the same about Germany.

    Obviously you never seen the MASH episode of a Turk soldier and a Greek soldier in fisticuffs.
    Greeks fought off at least two invaders just before WW2. And when WW2 occured they repelled the Italian invaders. However, with German assistance, the Itslians had success after fierce fighting.

      Greece extended into Central Asia after Alexander's conquest. One of the rump states, often referred to as "Grecco-Bactria" existed in Central Asia until roughly 120 BC. Greeks were still local rulers in some areas after the collapse of this state for another 250ish years.
