While you're at it, you might as well praise the Persians' unsurpassable bravery for being forced to charge at well-positioned, heavily armored Greeks at the narrow pass of Thermopylae.

Yes, with a meager force of ~300,000 to charge all 300 of them! Bravery, indeed....
Especially disgraceful was the behavior of the Persians after they found the body of Leonidas: Xerxes ordered to cut off his head and to crucify his body. Compare with Ataturk.
