Alexander inherited the Macedonian phalanx from his father Philip. It was enough to conquer the Persian Empire.

The result of empire?

Macedonia is a tiny country with 25,713 Km2, slightly bigger than Vermont. GDP? $10.17 Billion US dollars at current prices

Persian Empire (Iran). In shambles

Greece? bankrupt

Of course the fact that Alexander was gay and had a lifelong relationship with Hephaestion would no doubt have caused him to be ineligible to serve in the US military, before the current administration

Don't ask don't tell and all that retarded crap the GOP still believes in
