I wanted to make a list of the most iconic soldiers for each century (for European history mostly) and was wondering if /pol/ could help me out with that. That's how far I've come:

1. Roman legionary
2. ?? because i want to avoid repetition
3. Cataphract maybe?
4. Hunnic horse-archer
5. ?? Barbarians?
6. ??
7. ??
8. ??
9. Vikings
10. Frankish knights
11. Crusaders
12. Knight order (repetition?)
13. Mongol horse-archer
14. Swiss halberdiers?
15. British longbowmen
16. Landsknecht
17. Polish winged hussar
18. Red coats
19. Napoleonic infantry
20. Wehrmacht soldier
21. US Marines (till now)

Jaguars bitch. Coolest looking soldiers in the Aztec army. You needed to take 4 live captives in battle to achieve this rank. They wore heavy padded armor underneath a thick cloth suit. Used obsidian lined swords with blades so sharp they could shave with them.

Good fucking luck.

This should really be 5

Switch these two.
16. Tercios
21. USAF or one of the american special fairies are way more representative of the 21st century dude

There are both experts at PR and not much else.

Post world war it would be best to put 'revelutionaries' as with the odd exception they are who people have been fighting most. Good luck trying to find a single image for that.

Or an f16
