<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jwt708, post: 2373200, member: 32619&quot;]There were a couple interesting articles in the last issue of Ancient Warfare magazine that focused on the use of elephants in combat. As I&#039;m unfamiliar with elephants generally but I do take issue with some of the authors&#039; conclusions about their ineffectiveness. My understanding is in modern day India where elephants are used as beasts of burden, once they kill a handler they become uncontrollable. Something in them changes, like they realize they have the power, and the elephant has to be put down. If this is a real situation, how did the ancients overcome this behavior? Further, I think it&#039;s interesting that young males having been expelled from their packs, will join together and raid villages for their alcohol stores. Nothing worse than a bunch of drunk teenage elephants!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
