I'd feel the same way, but unfortunately dueling is considered murder if someone dies as a result of it. In the military, the Uniform Code of Military Justice actually has a specific article prohibiting dueling.

The last time dueling was actively promoted as a way to settle questions of honor was during WW II in Hitler's Germany.

Here's a site on the history of dueling: http://www.isidore-of-seville.com/dueling/ . And another on the rules of dueling: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/duel/sf...ofdueling.html
That's really unfortuate. But of course, if you were in the army and you kill another member of the same army, that is fraticide.

I'm glad someone agrees with me.

Wait, let me get this straight, ladies and gentleman of greek chat.
If a lady is insulted you're all saying (except AlphaSigOU) that I should not defend the lady's honor?
