There will be another question about voting and not commenting.

"Gilligan's Island", the comedic adventures of castaways stranded on a desert isle, was one of the most popular television shows in the 1960s, and has been even more popular in its hundreds of reruns since.

This Poll is for older guys who watched the original show as well as for those who've seen it in reruns.

The classic question: who would you rather be with? Ginger or Mary Ann?

When you post an opinion to a Question or Poll, do you read others' opinions before you post? I tend to post my opinion, then go read others. It's less biased, and more honest, that way.

What about you? Before you Post? After you Post? Or maybe you Never Read the opinions of others.

Name the Leader of that Nation? He personally invented it.

Also, which ancient nation did he study who was already using Rally Fire and Rolling Retreat for Archaic ranged weapons around 1600 years ago, before Guns were invented?

What was the archaic weapon the previous question refers to, and why did that ancient nation have so much success with that weapon?

What percent of this man's army did Marksmen make up during the next war he fought, in which he tested his new Rally Fire and Rolling Retreat strategy? Give your answer in multiples of 5%.

Hint: It's less than 50%.

What were the primary weapons, other than Guns, which were used by both sides in that war? In approximately what proportion were they used by this man's army?

Hint: "Swords" is not the correct answer. Real Historians and Strategists know swords were already obsolete in warfare at least a thousand years before guns were even invented, except as a "Back-up weapon": in case your primary weapon was disarmed.

Did this man win the next war he fought in after this discovery, and how drastic was the victory or defeat in that war?

Who was the opposing nation in that war?

Hint: Both nations are in the answer key for the Poll.

Unrelated Bonus Question:
During the biggest naval battle of the War of the Greeks and Persians, how many Persian ships were sunk by the Greeks in one day due to "Greek Fire" and other superior Greek weapons and strategies? This war and this battle were correctly prophesied by the Angel in the Book of Daniel.

I think it's a topic that really needs more openness and discussion to help eliminate the stigma that goes along with it. And I'd be absolutely open and honest with my experiences. I'll post a question where we can discuss it, but only if others are interested. I'm still debating on whether to do it, and if I do, whether I would allow anonymous replies, usually I don't. I might consider it on this type of question. But, if I do allow anonymous replies, I would not hesitate for a second to delete answers from anyone acting like a jackass. So for now, would you like to see such a question, and if you would, what do you think about allowing anonymous answers and allowing replies from people who self-diagnose?

Please answer the poll below so I can get an idea of the level of interest.
