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

Nordic Viking. My grandfather immigrated from Norway with his mother. The other side of my family is a mixed bag, but I think the Norse is predominant.

I'm a "mutt" I have a little bit of everything thrown. In. That is what happens when your family has been here since the 1700's.

The Howell line was the last King of Wales. Ironically the Welsh are the hillbillies of the British Empire. Still a hillbilly and proud of it.

A couple of years ago our family did 23andMe genetic testing for the health reports as well as the genealogy.

Northern European with some Anglo-Saxon thrown in. In other words: Viking. Yeah, I wouldn't have guessed it from my name or occupation either.
My spouse and daughter were highly amused to learn that I have more Neanderthal in my DNA than they do. Most people are 2.7%, but I'm 2.9%. Not that you can tell...

I'm 14% Scandanavian myself, I went on a research kick a while back on "Vikings". The most interesting thing I found was that "viking" is a verb, not a noun. When Norsemen went out to seek plunder they were said to "go -a -viking" . It is like raiding. Also the Norsemen were more interesting in trading, exploring and establishing settlements than conducting all out war. They were somewhat like native Americans in that aspect. They used quick raids against unsuspecting settlements and prefered to negotiate ransoms rather than risk long drawn out wars. They often settled in and were gradually assimilated into the culture of the countries they once raided. Normandy France was settled by vikings who became French after Rollo (Who was baptised as Robert) raided Paris and as part of a peace treaty married off to the French Princess Gisselle and named 1st Duke of Normandy.

My Spanish side is with the Basque, My Native American is with Kiowa Apache, most recently 1st Force Recon. I have studied Tai Mantis Kung Fu. I was unable to pull up the Gallegos Coat of Arms. Definitely Warrior Blood Traces through my Veins.

Though my surname doesn't show it, I consider my lineage to come from the Vikings. Both my parents are of Norwegian and Swedish heritage.

I love the sea... even when it's rough - it's like a real-life roller-coaster ride!!! I'm a Nordic Viking - genetically and psychologically, but have ZERO battle skill!
Although i know that my life is what it is (and I love it) because I joined the canoe club, I will admit that I'm a soldier "wanna-be"... I still carry the (naive) romantic view of "soldiering".
God protects fools and children from themselves...

I'm Scotch-Irish on my mother's side so I'll take the Gael (appears to have been left off your list) and the Picts (again..didn't see it on your list) along with some Norse blood from their Irish settlements...
Stir that in with English, Welsh, and German on my dad's side and throw in the occasional native american into mix. I'd say there's some warriors in there somewhere. I have a great great great something or other (no really) who was with Gen. Lee at Appomattox, he was a drummer boy. My uncle traced my paternal grandmother's family tree all the way back to medieval Germany...so that's pretty cool.
Just about every culture has their hero warrior class though.
