Since the beginning, humans has been obsessed with fighting. From the bloody entertainment of the Colosseum to the sacrificial killing grounds of the Aztecs and Mayans. It would be difficult to find a culture, even in the present day, that doesn't in some way express a fascination for warfare. Don’t lie to yourself. If you are reading this...you are a warrior class.
Warriors have influenced nations across time. Bringing a civilization to its knees or even extinction. At different eras, Warriors were born and bred, today it is a voluntary task....one for which you volunteered.
Which nation of Warriors are you most closely related? Have you studied your genetic military history? Care to share what you have learned?
And if you do not know, does it interest you?
If you do not know your genetic lineage, which do you most align yourself with?
I have always felt our greatest military tacticians study history, study and dissect previous decisions on the battlefield. (Probably, our modern day WAR COLLEGE)
Is there a certain Warrior Class that you really envy, fear, loathe, or worship. Feel free to chime in with this list or add to it.
Some of the fiercest warriors throughout history:
US Army Delta Force
US Navy SEAL
US Army Green Beret
US Marine Force Recon
Nepalese Gurkha
Japanese Ninja
Japanese Samurai
Maori Warrior
Aztec Warrior
IDF Israeli Sayaret
British SAS
French Foreign Legion
Zulu Warrior
Zanda Warrior
Gladiator
Apache
Comache
Germany's Schutzstaffel (SS)
Nordic Viking
French Muskateer
Greek Spartan
Crusader (Medieval Knight)
Russian Spetsnaz
Chinese Ming Warrior
Mongol Horseman
Persian Immortal
India's Rajput Warrior
Roman Centurion
Sikh Warrior

Genetically, my paternal relatives are Cherokee and maternally my relatives are Scots-Irish. I imagine I have some fighters back there somewhere.
Always wanted to think of myself as a warrior poet. More like a shoalin monk. Fight when I must, help when I can. Sometimes that turns out to be both.

SPC David Wyckoff Yes, Fight when you should help, and Help when you should fight....lol. Those two decisions are sometimes tough, especially when a spouse is involved.

Past research into my past puts us way back to medieval England. Our family backed the wrong person for the throne and were banished to Ireland. From 13 yoa on I wanted to join the Marines which I did and now have 22 years as a deputy sheriff. I consider myself a modern day warrior.

Interesting how a decision of an ancestor changes your destiny/fate. Glad to hear we don't banish you for backing the wrong leader today....imagine?

I have no idea what my actual lineage is. But the warrior class that I feel I most closely align with would be Colonial-American Minutemen. I did not make the military my career (only did 4 years), but I have lots of experience, gear, and I'm ready to go at a minute's notice.

My people are the ones who killed Magellan. Who fought, in turn, the Spanish, Americans and Japanese; were the inspiration for the adoption of the .45 auto pistol and are home of some of the deadliest blade arts in the world.

McPherson (Scotland) - The MacPhersons formed part of the great Clan Chattan, and frequently disputed the leadership of this federation with the MacKintosh family. They finally did acknowledge the MacKintosh claim to "Captain of Clan Chattan", but showed them little loyalty in the ensuing years.
Tradition states that Robert the Bruce promised to grant the lands of Badenoch to the chief of the MacPhersons, on condition that he destroy the Bruce's bitter enemies, the Comyns. This murderous deed was carried out by the chief, Ewan Ban MacMhuirich, and his three sons. In recognition of this event, the clan MacPherson is often referred to as "the Clan of the three brothers".
There are many branches of the MacPherson family but the Cluny family emerged as the most important, with Euan MacPherson of Cluny becoming a famous Highland leader in the '45 rebellion. Renowned as one the most spectacular fighters in the Scottish forces, he was forced to live in hiding for nine years, after his property had been burnt to the ground. Despite a reward of £1.00,000 on his head, he was supported by his loyal clansmen, eventually escaping to France in 1755.
Euan's son, Duncan MacPherson of Cluny, fought for the government during the American Wars of Independence, before returning to claim the forfeited MacPherson estates in 1784. The clan seat today is a fine castle at Blairgowrie.

When I was young it was the knights, then the Samurai. When I joined it was the Spartans. Now I know I'm more like Cincinnatus.
