Greek soldiers had to buy their own weapons and armour.A wealthy citizen could afford the best spears and swords, and the strongest shields and body armour. Poor soldiers would have to make do with whatever equipment they could afford. After winning a battle soldiers sometimes hung their armour in trees, or inside a temple, as a gods.We are greatly concerned by the active participation of Greece in the new imperialistic wars launched by NATO, USA, EU and the governments related, aiming at terrorizing nations submitting them to their interests. The Greek government haw already given NATO and USA permission to use Greek air bases for the needs of the Afghanistan war.
Now it is preparing to create a volunteer-marines expeditionary unit (with conscripts and regular troops), which will be used in the military campaign. Simultaneously, it intends to increase the military presence of Greece in the Balkans by making the participation of conscripts and regular in the missions outside the country obligatory. We are also worried about the effort they made to create a new mercenaries army that will be able to participate in the international imperialistic interventions, but it will also be able to be "used" by the government domestically when "the economic or social life is being threatened"!

- The military government in Greece has collapsed and the former prime minister Constantine Karamanlis has been invited to return.
- goverment
- The government of Greece is making heroic efforts to humiliate the nation in front of the entire world, by banning all electronic games. That's right; something as innocent as playing computer chess on your laptop in a hotel lobby is now a crime with penalties of up to three months in stir and a fine of 10,000 euros.
