Neither M21Sniper nor Randy defended anything other than their self perceived macho image, certainly neither was defending America.

Your statement regarding the Spartans is false, unless specifically referring to the second Persian invasion. During the first the focus of the invasion was Athens and the Athenian homeland.
And the Peleponessian war was a war of agression between Athens and Sparta for influence over the Greek city-states.
Perhaps Les was referring to one of these events when he made his statement.
