Well goddamn man- no one really expects the Italians to make war any more. They've been everyone's bitch since Hannibal rolled in there with his phalanx smashing elephants.



Hannibal never got into Rome. No seige machines and he left too many cities loyal to Rome uncrushed to his rear.

Rome had a good run 'til like 410 AD/CE [depending on your view].

But since 410 .... "everybody's bitch".


btw, I once met a girl who was supposed to be Mussolini's illegitimate grand-daughter. She was quite hot, but spoke very little English.
