“How do you feel”
“Well sir uh … I feel like uh … like a … slice of butter … melting on a big old pile of flapjacks … yea”
I’m surprise this isn’t on here yet, so I’ll be the one to post it. It is by far the best quote from any movie yet made:
**Mongol General: Hao! Dai ye! We won again! This is good, but what is best in life?
Mongol: The open steppe, fleet horse, falcons at your wrist, and the wind in your hair.
Mongol General: Wrong! Conan! What is best in life?
Conan: To crush your enemies. See them driven before you. And to hear the lamentations of their women.
Mongol General: That is good! That is good.**
Conan: To crush your enemies. See them driven before you. And to hear the lamentations of their women.
That was originally a Ghengis Khan quote, if I’m not mistaken, but Arnold delivers his version of it nicely.

Yeah, but I don’t get why the guy who says “wind in your hair” didn’t get his asss immediately kicked out of the tent… what a loser…

I dunno…maybe he works for the chieftain as a staff officer, to handle paperwork, rather than as front-line combat officer, and therefore isn’t expected to be as macho as Arnold. Douglas MacArthur, who didn’t like Dwight Eisenhower, once said of Eisenhower (who – as a colonel, if I’m not mistaken – had once worked for him as a staff officer) that “He was the best clerk I ever had.” Eisenhower similarly didn’t like MacArthur, and once said of him “I studied drama under him for three years” (I may have the number wrong; I don’t recall the exact figure).
LOL nice one Marc.

Garg, your killing me… :lol:
But weren’t all mongol warriors front line fighters? Did they have “staff officers?” Interesting historical questions…

Wow, never would have thought I could have a line quote in a thread like this… I guess all it takes is a little butt kissing.
LOL
You’re like Clint Eastwood now.

It is indeed an interesting historical question, and one that was actually addressed in something I once read (if I remember correctly, it was Gwynne Dyer’s book War). The author noted that there was an important difference between agrarian civilizations (like the Roman Empire) and pastoral/nomadic civilizations (like the Mongols) in terms of their military capabilities. Agrarian civilizations can only devote a small percentage of their labour force to military activities, and more specifically to full-time professional armies; Rome, even at its height, only had about 10% of its adult male population under arms, many of the rest being occupied in farming, and the remainder being in commerce (including food importation and sale), crafts, trades and administration. Nomads, by contrast, tend not to have standing armies in the conventional sense…but by the same token they have no fixed agricultural land to cultivate and to defend, and fewer of the economic and administrative burdens that are required to keep an urban civilization functioning. Therefore, when the need arises, nomads can put almost 100% of their adult male population into combat, and thus technically have the capacity to fight an agrarian state ten times larger than themselves. So in that respect: no, barbarian chieftains wouldn’t make much (if any) use of staff officers in the conventional sense.
