America has a volunteer army where former criminals, rednecks, poor people, and the like are deployed to fight for the interests of the power holders of the country. Most of the so-called "warriors" in America will never converse with the upper classes they fight for. Ironically, most of the peoples that America fights do have warrior cultures, such as the Afghans. And other groups such as the Japanese or Vietnamese, had a much stronger culture due to a much stronger understanding of what self-sacrifice means for a nation and its people.

America is an individualist mercantile nation, first and foremost. Stop deluding yourself.

I'm not sure why you think this is a criticism of America
The Afghans fight for their twisted theologians
The Japanese fought for their god-emperor

The mercenary armies in America never personally spoke to George Bush, but Ahmed the Dead Terrorist never spoke to Allah and Nip the Zipperhead never spoke to the emperor. Everyone was willing to sacrifice themselves for some idealistic goal. You can't quantify the strength of someone's understanding, and you can't define a warrior based on the degrees of separation from the ruling class they represent, you idiot.

Americans have a war porn culture, not a warrior one.

How many an Americans can't even run a mile or do a single pull up? Even in your sports there is no honour in the competition.

Assyrians the GOAT, their entire religion and worldview revolved around conquering.

>>3007064
That other anon thought America has a primarily warrior culture. I was just showing that it doesn't. Not having a warrior culture is nothing to be ashamed of, it shows a high degree of development. The disciplined Roman armies defeated warrior cultures routinely.

>>3007069
This honestly. Look at this post for example: >>3007047 faggot tries to claim America as a warrior culture by posting a pic from a fucking science fiction movie. A lot of the people you meet on ranges are literally obese and they unironically think movies and video games depict reality.

Rome for sure up until it got too rich off the Punic wars, but even then it took a few hundred years for it to totally rub off.

>>3004844
Warrior societies are the niggers of civilization. They tend to be beaten at their own game by societies with more prosperous economies and advanced logistics. They usually have shit innovation, too, and technological advantages are often central to winning wars. The only people who idolize warrior societies today are emotional teenage boys and ideologues that feel their life is hollow, and want to be cucks by throwing their life away to a LARP state.

Honor is for gaylords. The only remotely non-nigger warrior societies were Eurasian nomads, and they were overspecialized with empires of shit longevity. Spartans, Japs, Nazis etc. were all memes. Romans were heavily militaristic but had enough emphasis on infrastructure and civics to actually sustain their imperialism. So yeah... you're a fag.

>>3007605
I agree but I don't agree with the overspecialized bit. Steep nomads huns, turks, and mongols wouldn't be able to destroy cities if they didn't know shit about siege warfare.

At the same time guys like the Romans got powerful large part by fucking with those "muh honor" cultures

Prussian generals, strategists and inventions revolutionized modern warfare. The Prussian culture was eliminated after WW2 because a Germany dominated by Prussia was a threath to both the UdSSR and continential Europe. It wouldnt call it the greatest warrior culture but atleast the best modern example of it.

And there is no honour in war. Our sports train our young men for the realities of war. That's why football is so popular, its an allegory for trench warfare. Success in the short term is measured in yards gained, and while the long term goal is to score touchdowns, most individual plays are simply to gain ground in the hopes that you can eventually achieve a breakthrough.

Every spring the Aztecs used to organize 'gladiatorial' combats between their highest military ranks and the enemy elite warriors and commanders who were captured in battle. As part of the festival, nobles from all Mesoamerica were invited to witness these combats.
Nevertheless, only the Aztec warrior would fight with an obsidian edged weapon and his movement wouldn't be limited due to being attached to the sacrificial stone. The battle would be over when the Aztec warrior was unconcious or when he managed to bleed enough his foe.
Usually the first combatant for the captured warrior would be his captor and if the latter was victorious he would face several other contenders. A famous Tlaxcalan warrior, Tlahuicole, was granted his liberty after killing 8 warriors and defeating 20 more but he prefered to be sacrificed than bring dishonor to his country (and also because he coulnd't return since he was captured by a foe in the first place).

Flower wars differed from typical wars in a number of important aspects. While engaging in a flower war, competing armies would meet on a "preset date at a preselected place.”[5] These places became sacred sites and were called cuauhtlalli or yaotlalli.[2] Combatants signaled the start of war by burning a large "pyre of paper and incense" between the armies.[2] Actual battle tactics also differed from typical warfare.[6] In typical warfare, the Aztecs used atlatl darts, stones, and other ranged weapons to weaken enemy forces from afar.[6] However, in flower wars, the Aztecs neglected to use ranged weapons and instead used weapons such as the macuahuitl[7] that required skill and close proximity to the enemy.[6] The use of these kinds of weapons allowed the Aztecs to display their individual combat ability, which was an important part of the flower war.[6]

Flower wars involved fewer soldiers than typical Aztec wars did.[2] A larger proportion of the soldiers would be drawn from nobility than during a typical war.[8] These characteristics allowed the Aztecs to engage in flower wars during any time of the year.[8] In contrast, the Aztecs could fight larger wars of conquest only from late autumn to early spring, because Aztec citizens were needed for farming purposes during the rest of the year.[8] Additionally, flower wars differed from typical wars in that there were equal numbers of soldiers on each side of the battle; this was also related to the Aztecs wanting to show off their military prowess.[9]

At birth, an Aztec boy would receive two symbols of being a warrior. A shield would be placed in his left hand, and an arrow would be placed in his right. After a short ceremony the newly born boy's umbilical cord, shield, and arrow would be taken to a battlefield to be buried by a renowned warrior.

>>3018178
A warrior culture is a society that embraces war/armies or military action.
Sparta is probably the best known one.
Maybe some in africa exist today but not on a country wide level unless im forgettign someone. Countries like Amercia, while heavily supporting their military and military action, is not a warrior culture.

Eh, even the Spartans, while the citizens were a warrior culture, they had a huge class of slaves that did all the real day to day work. It's easy to be 'spartan' when you have slaves to do all the farming and building.
