Your favorite warrior from the past

[SimonM]

Hi was probably BI by modern day accounts.
For lack of a better word.

Ideas of sexual preference were rather different back then. Almost everyone seems to have been a catamite at some point in time.

Hell.. Socrates.

That's what I meant, by today's standards he was BI ( probably), but in those times he was just being a Greek.
LOL !

very punny...

i dont know if spj was speaking strictly of the definitive criteria of being involved in warfare as a soldier to dertrimine a 'warrior'

some definitions are more loose, being those experienced or skilled in athletic endeavors or even politics.

In 1614–1615, Musashi participated in the war between the Toyotomi and the Tokugawa. In the war he participated in 2 battles. So definately not a large amount of warfare experience.

its accounted that by the time of his retirement, he fought over 60 duels. this number also does not count for the men slain in the war he was participated in.

being ronin for such a long time up and down, and fighting that many actual duels to the death i think classifies him as a warrior IMO. more so than most people any of us know.

he may not have had a large military career, but he definately had a warriors spirit.

In 1621, Musashi defeated Miyake Gunbei and three other adepts of the Togun ryu in front of the lord of Himeji. thats just hardcore.

so even if he doesnt meet some dictionary standards of a 'warrior' i still think he was.

In the "loose" sense of the word, sure.

Now, are you trying to imply that I'm loose? Just because I said Alexander.....

LOL !

the man was gay as buckets and deeply in love with his first mate by all accounts.

of course he fathered a few whelps. that's your job when you're king.

he never hung with the wimmins and always hung with his mates and especially his main boy. lol

but, in that time, that was acceptable by most standards. so no big deal.


but still...hahahahahaha.

*I'm so immature*

Harsh !!
I think that makes him an even greater warrior, fighting battles is hard enough, doing that while smoking a sausage, now that's uber-skills !!
