I live in Maryland. We top the list for heroin addiction, syphilis,
violent crime, and political corruption. So if you visit, expect to
be drugged, raped, robbed, and then taxed for the experience.[Attrib

>At first glance, yes. In most cases, troops did uparmor. In the Vikings cas
e, the vast majority of the time, Hirdsmen were armored, it was the norm rathe
r than the exception (unlike many other troops where it's the other way around
).

>That's why we did it that way.
