The Deadliest Warrior is one of my favorite TV shows ever. It's a pity that Spike TV cancelled the show.
I have a request for you, Mr. LaFond: Could you please, make comments on the other episodes of the show as well (or, at least, the ones about with Ancient/Medieval warriors?
Bruno, The Deadliest Warrior was one of my favorite shows and you are one of my favorite correspondents, so I will do this as soon as possible. My initial search brought up three minute YouTube clips which are not enough and some sort of streaming site where the video quality was so bad I could not follow the action.
My webmaster is searching for usable full-length video of episodes. I won’t bother with the modern military parings as I know very little about the subject matter in terms of function.
Stay tuned.

I looked at the Deadliest warrior review and there's something I thought I'd add. The Mongols kicked everyone's ass. They way they did so was very simple. They could move a huge amount of warriors very fast with minimal supplies and had bows that shot a long way. They if confronted with too large a force could just run away or they could circle around and shoot when ever they got a chance. Very much like the American Indian which made very good use of this technique until the US Army killed all their food and chased them continually until they wore them down.
The Russians were wiped out by the Mongols several times. Bringing us to Ivan the Terrible. I read somewhere that Ivan the Terrible made portable walls that could be made into forts. These were loaded on wagons and could go out on the steppe and the Mongols couldn't do squat about it. Their arrows wouldn't go through the walls and they could put lots of supplies on the wagons. Screwed them up. Ivan was an evil pervert but he was a smart guy.
As for the Spartans, which I admire even though the average Spartans life really sucked luxury wise, they could probably kick the shit out on anybody. If all you did was train to fight you would have to get good at it eventually. They only lost because they ran out of troops. They should have forced their Women to have more children. Whites are in somewhat the same boat today. Fortunately for us tech comes to the rescue. Women have always had an advantage because they have the eggs thought to be the only way to have children. Oops. Turns out that it's sperm that is the important element to start eggs cell division and eggs can be made from skin cells. Bad, bad , bad news for Feminist who say "Women need a Man like a fish needs a bike". Turns out Men need Women...if they like to cum in Women but otherwise they're not necessary as they rarely will make you dinner, be pleasant company or scratch your back these days. The Japanese have found a way to turn skin cells into eggs then fertilize with sperm making mice.

It will take a while but eventually Men will have kids that are solely theirs and if they get Married Women will not control the children which is their major...maybe only power center.
