Greek so-called Army: Their main weapon is the funny "clown-like" appearance. Their enemies see them, start to laugh and can not make war. LOL But to be fair, today these guys are not real soldiers, their function is purely ceremonial, they're n honor guard.

I do not think they were bad warriors. Yes, they were good. Especialy in the Ancient times... But, we say: "Nikada od Srba dobri moreplovci, niti od Grka dobri borci" "You can never make good sailors out of Serbs, nor good fighters out of Greeks" - used when you wish to say that you are not fit for a certain job. I really don't have any idea why they are considered as bad fighters - but I don't think they are bad

I really don't have any idea why they are considered as bad fighters - but I don't think they are bad If you compare Greek warriors with Turks,yes they are really bad.But ý think they were good soldiers but thay can't compare with nomads. Nomad warriority is very natural(may be beacuse of the geoghraphy they tried to live). Ancient Greeks were good(like spartans).

what do you mean? when Mussolini invaded Greece, the Greek army pushed back the advance on Albanian soil, it was only the Wehrmacht who not only saved the Italians ass but also brought the greeks to heels. Greeks also fought pretty sucessfully in WW1. I only think they sucked during byzantine times, i will never understand why people like the Byzantine military...

That is, exactly. The Greeks fought well in WWII against the Italians. My point was to show that the Greeks were not that bad warriors. By the way, I like Byzantine Roman military
