No man, I wouldn't want to fight with swords and spears, must have been horrible. Modern warfare is more humane in that aspect, at least it's over with quickly usually. Don't like Cortez, although Aztecs were no hippies as well. The reason why Cortez took Tenochtitlan was because surrounding tribes hated Aztecs to the degree they would rather ally with unfamiliar outsiders who brought nothing but death and disease. Alexander wasn't much better, conquering mostly desert for what, to die before he can return back home. Also I wouldn't want to kill anyone even in war, I'm afraid of bad karma like hell.
