favorite army. fighting force, soldiers. elite combat unit of all time?

tell us the men/women of war who inspire you, or you take most liking to from any era of time and why, i have so many and wont name them all right away with a huge list, so here is just a sample few.







the samurai, for there unique and interesting bushido code of honour, and the fighting style and weapons they use with great skil.


the ninja, for there lack of honor, ruthlesness and moto of, "anything to get the job done is cool with me". the secretive code of silence and training in the shadows is cool too.


the roman empire, for there great victorys over so many foes, and commanding such a huge empire, plus you have to love running water and aquaducts.


the old english knights and longbowmen. the longbow is such a beast of a weapon and hard to use to full effect. and the knights are funny the way they would not listen to command, and charge down enemies at will thinking they are invincible,


ahh so many to choose from. the mongolians for there hatrid of walls, and ghengis khan the boy who nearly took over the world, and populated it along the way.


peace.

but you like the persian army right?

ghandi was a pussy in combat. even darwin would kick his ass.

peace.

 

The U.S. Navy SEALs are among my favorite. Before watching BUD/S Class 234, I didn't really know what kind of training they went through and hence, I did not appreciate their existance.

 

I prefer machines. Machines like ICBM's and SU-37.

the force controlled by wellington during the peninsular campaign.

the riders of rohan.booya

 

the seals are cool, and is that aircraft an actual fighter? it looks kinda plastic to me,


it looks cool though,


peace,

 

yeah its real, just lots of photoshop effect of dizziness.

 

lol @ the riders of rohan.


peace.

 

ahh i was starting to think it was a painting or a poster type thing,

when will we realise that the anime shows got it right, walkers and robot suits with jetpacks are the way forward, the ground capability better than a tank or car that can move over obsticles, get into places easy, and the arial capability of a helicopter or plane,


plus they look 10x better, infact put me down for a couple to wage war in..


peace.

 

Well yeah ok if I come to think of it, I was always amazed by the russian FSB force.

). He doesn't get shot.
I'm glad you like the style. Its best not to use all precious energy on one opponent/dirt object.

 

Dont forget the foot too.
