Actually, I used the Spartans as an example of a warrier state. I suppose I could have used any other of dozens of 'nations' of soldiers who marched at the command of a leader. (or sailors who sailed, for that matter)
Thank you

Les,
I figured you were writing in regards to the generality of the Spartans as a true warrior society--wherein the command of the king was law, and his orders were followed wether the army agreed with it or not.
My post was directed to pastes' false assumption that the Spartans only fought to defend their homeland.
