This might be more suited for /his/, but I'll take a chance with it here.

Post warrior cultures or countries that you think are cool, have influenced warfare historically, and hopefully remain /k/ool today despite our western pussification.

Also post their weapons

I'll start with the Gurkhas

>grow up, join nepalese army
>fight so hard, the global superpower decides to enlist you in East India Trading Co. Army
>fight in virtually every major war since, including Iraq, despite your own country being very secluded from the rest of the world

By the logic you are using ghetto niggers are a warrior society.

I'm sick of this whole "warrior society" bullshit, the brits use the ghurkas primarily as propaganda. I'm not doubting that the ghurkas have done some cool shit but they're just an infantry unit. Any of their crazy shit all comes from British sources with no evidence (again not saying everything they do is bullshit) the ghurkas circle jerk needs to fucking stop.

The Gurkhas get crazy numbers of application. Something like 20,000 for 400 places each year. This means a very high quality recruit.

They are just an infantry unit. No one says otherwise but they are one of the best infantry units around. The UK regimental system likes to celebrate unit culture and local links which also makes gurkhas very distinctive.

Chechens. They LOVE war and you'll find a lot of Chechens practicing martial arts and getting big and fit. A lot of homes in Chechnya have guns. They even managed to fend off a huge, though unorganized army in the first Chechen war.

The life of the average gang banger reads like a fucking meat-grinder:

>Substandard living conditions
>no father or even parental figure; mother or grandmother raising them probably has mental health/addiction issues
>Constantly surrounded by drug addicts, thieves of all kinds, dealers, etc
>Learn and accept at an early age that the only thing they have to look forward to in life is prison or an early grave.
>Only people around them who have can even pretend to have their shit together are gangs.
>Gangs take them in, and suddenly they have people who seem to care about them and give them responsibility.

They value strength, aggression, cunning, and brutality, they're loyal to their fellow gang members, and the streets weed out those not cut out for the game.

Not so much what he said, rather what he did. The lads from the RGR came over to do a combined ex and do some advanced training. When they go anywhere, they bring around 20-30 hand made and razor sharp kukris as well as some other kit to sell, so they can fund their own events and get on the piss without digging deep into their own pockets. They gave a mounted ceremonial kukri to the Battalion which the CO accepted graciously on our behalf. Our Gurkha mates received a similar gift from us. We cracked a few beers. The CO's second wife was present at the function. He cheated on his first wife, married the woman with whom he cheated. Then cheated on her, too. I digress.

So they get in a bit of a tiff about halfway in, she storms out because she's had enough of the night and want to go home. He storms out after her. Meanwhile, we're all watching out the corner of our eyes and feeling pretty fucking embarrassed and our RGR mates feeling embarrassed for us. The CO left behind the kukri. One of the Gurkha lads picked it up and made to follow him out. Look on his face and some of his mates was of utter ashtonishment. It was a gross disrespect to the RGR and spat in the face of all our collective work.

People misconstrue warrior culture and society vs technology.

Ghetto niggers with AKs could defeat any British army in the 1800s.

It is when you are down in technology, but still manage to win that really counts.


This is why I have always had very high respect for Vietnamese soldiers. Their resolve was unbreakable, hence why they could not be defeated.
>>
>>27853623
The reason they weren't defeated was because we couldn't find them in the jungle- and the viet cong were not vietnamese soldiers. The NVA suffered overwhelming defeats in every single major engagement, and the VC:US kd was like 15:1 or something.
>>
>>27853691
Yes. Technology advantages tends to do that.

But they never gave up. They kept on fighting over and over and over again. Their resolve was unbreakable. Hence the US defeat.

The authors of Freakanomics point out that even fairly successful gang members live with their mothers. If you're a top-level street gang leader, you make about as much as a fast-food manager. Seriously, like $60-70k/year, net. The Freakanomics guys had street gang members trying to get them to set them up with janatorial jobs at the university (one of them is an economics professor) because that was a very lucrative and comparatively safe job compared to selling drugs on a corner.

Which warrior culture has influenced history more than the Prussian?
>Be Friedrich Wilhelm the 1st.
>Let soldiers hold their morning appeal in front of your window everday

>Be Friedrich the 2nd.
>Make school compulsory to indoctrinate children to be the citizen and first and foremost the soldier you want.

>Military has harshest treatment and punishment in Europe

>Common children as young as 9 years have to go to school, work and do their homework afterwards.
>They get beaten to a pulp by their father if their grades suck

>Prussian militarism and it's influence on society made 1st. and 2nd. world war happen.

To get a feeling of what the little man's Germany was like back then, watch the film "The white ribbon"
Don't watch the trailer though, it spoilers way too much.
My grandfather told me horrible stories about his childhood.
For example;
>Be 8
>Live in Pommerania
>Walk 3 miles through the woods to get to school
>School over, go back home
>Get charged by a boar
>Climb up a tree
>Climb down, go home, parents don't care. Get beaten with fists for being dirty and too late for dinner.
