    Ok wait a minute now....When was Psycho banned?????????

    btw I don't believe Psycho made his post up. To the man's defence, if we scroll back some pages he did claim he hated citing stuff and if we look more closely to his posts he didn't start citing until recently.

    Anywho... enough about that, I see discussing the man's character in his absence is B.S.

    Now here is something I don't get:

    If the Gallic tribes were not weakened... Then why in the hell would they need to call on the Suebi and the Romans to fight for them??????



    Sure all sovereign nations/cities/tribes called or hired foreign troops, Carthage did all the time. But calling on a foreign army, which is led by a foreign leader, to fight the sovereign’s war is NOT done unless the sovereign is unable to fight its own war. And what’s even worst, the sovereign is unable to lead the foreign army it called/hired.

    You know something has to be F*ed up when the Gallic tribes, who used to fight each other for centuries, all of the sudden call on foreign armies led by the foreigners themselves to fight the Gaul's "squabble"/raid/conflict/civilwar/whatever in the Gauls OWN territory.
    -If I am not mistaken the Greeks did something similar... they called on Rome to "free" them Macedon, and then they called of Antiacos (sp) of AS to "free" them from the Romans. Why?? Becuase those cities could not "free" themselves and they used the existing tensions between those powers to fight eachother.
