This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Swords were mainly for the generals and other higher up officers, since they require way more metal and thus were way more expensive.

So yes, mostly for show because those higher ups rarely went into battle themselves.
