TP that is 99% one of those myths being perpetuated about my forefathers that is not true but tries to enhance their reputation though the truth should give them a large enough reputation as it is...

Ah I see, so the whole faith thing is just a cover story then for all those "free willies?"

Probably, people used all sorts of exuses to make pron before pron was legalised ;-)

The Vikings were fearsome enough as it was, no need to add to it.

Yes, I am sure that is exactly what men in war were making during battle. Forget about the women, they wanted naked men.

As I recall Seutonius wrote:

"And the barbarians charged at Caesar's men with blood hurdling cries, naked in all their ferocity. But in the depths of the sound of battle, Caesar's voice was heard.

'Cut! Alright guys, line up and we will shoot it again. Oh, and Vercingetorix, put a little more sway into your hips this time.'"

Good to see a fellow fan

Add in weird magick symbolism to add to the overall intimidation effect, BTW. "Entrusting your survival to the Gods" type of thing from what I gather.

Well naked soldiers, were common in the past, not only in classical age, even in medieval age, i remeber, some ghazis of the empire ottoman, charge sometimes naked, or only wearing fur cloths.They usualy use drugs to get to a higher adrenalines rush, to deprive then selfs from fear. to be naked was a matter of proving himselfs, in battle to win honnor , also of course to intimidate the enemy, they usualy were used as cannon fodder, to confused the enemy in the first waves of assault.The use of drugs on soldiers, is a comon practise, even in recent days we have alots of exemples of this.
The notion of the politic wrong and correct is very relative, even today, and specialy today maybe. i dont find people been naked wrong...actualy is our natural form, whatever you like it or not. and i doubt that people in acient ages were afraid of naked mens, they were afraid yes of those maniac charges, and of people who were so fanatic,and brave, that they feel no need to wear nothing to protect then selfs.
