oh sup you killed my friend let me just go into a rage and kill your entire squad. And that's not even how he got the medal of honor. favorite warriors were probably the roman legionaries, the tower shield/gladius and pilum is a pretty awesome design and is professional looking. A very good standard infantry for the roman legions. Also obviously not the best warriors though, but i like their style. One of the Best warriors would be the mongol cavalry archers. Their technology>the rest of the world. greek phalanx's and such are way overrated in this thread as usual. phalanxs probably went out of date when generals mastered double envelopment. An average guy who goes to them gym is probably tougher than spartan warriors back then. people were shorter back then and not quite as healthy, haha. | ||

He needs no supernatural powers to be a Hero and has very human problems as well. Also his dress isnt stolen from a girl. ![[image loading]](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3027/2840125308_ec0eb6da16_o.jpg) | ||

 So my answer would be a roman legionary. Great skill and awesome discipline. But I like the Knight Templar as well, and when it comes to pure fiction I would choose a Jedi any day of the week. :D | ||

Gurkha brigade: ![[image loading]](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UUvljTIQi64/TV0T_TePhUI/AAAAAAAAJDs/FOedUmvfytY/s1600/gurkha-soldier3.jpg) Very tough Nepalese troops who fought for the British Empire throughout history (and in Afghanistan recently from what I understand) Mongol riders: ![[image loading]](http://atiqqta.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/mongol1.jpg) They were mass murderers, but damn were they effective in battle. Honorable mention: (Polish) Winged Hussars ![[image loading]](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_HYt995wFTps/TQSuxC2qAyI/AAAAAAAAAHU/KFVH1YAoIXs/s1600/husaria.jpg) Looked pretty badass as winged cavalry, and quite effective from what I understood as the noise from their wings would scare away enemy cavalry horses. | ||

The White Death ( named by the Soviets ) ![[image loading]](http://files.sharenator.com/Simo_Hayha-s585x360-11707.jpg) " It was during the Winter War (1939–1940), between Finland and the Soviet Union, that he began his duty as a sniper and fought for the Finnish Army against the Red Army. In temperatures between −40 and −20 degrees Celsius, dressed completely in white camouflage, Häyhä was credited with 505 confirmed plus 37 unconfirmed kills of Soviet soldiers.[3][5] The unofficial Finnish front line figure from the battlefield of Kollaa places the number of Häyhä's sniper kills at over 800.[6] A daily account of the kills at Kollaa was conducted for the Finnish snipers. Besides his sniper kills, Häyhä was also credited with over two hundred kills with a Suomi KP/-31 submachine gun, thus bringing his credited kills to at least 705.[5] Remarkably, all of Häyhä's kills were accomplished in fewer than 100 days at a time of year with very short hours of daylight.[7][8][9] " Finnish sniper in world war II, killed about 705-1000 men in WWII. Survived a headshot and had his jaw deformed from it. " The Soviets tried several ploys to get rid of him, including counter-snipers and artillery strikes. On March 6, 1940, Häyhä was shot in the lower left jaw by a Russian soldier during combat. The bullet tumbled upon impact and exited his head. He was picked up by fellow soldiers who said "half his head was missing", but he was not dead " Holy shit that's badass.He also lived for almost 100 years? That picture of his deformed face looks pretty ridiculously awesome, too.Cool stuff | ||

Their military strength in battle may have been in a phalanx but that certainly doesn't mean that a Spartan hoplite couldn't hold his own in a one vs. one scenario. Pankration was a "sport" for the ancient Greeks, and it was intense to the point where it would make MMA look like a sissies activity. They may have run around in togas and the like but they could most certainly hold their own. Hell, even Socrates, known for his mental strength, could probably lay the smack down on most people - having served as a hoplite at Marathon. don't get me wrong, I'm not saying a spartan would be weak in a 1 on 1 scenario I'm just saying training to fight in a 1 on 1 scenario and be the very best in 1 on 1 combat (which would probably even vary depending on the armaments and training of the opponent one would face) is an entirely different subject when compared to the theory of how one should fight within a large cohesive force. hell you're not even going to have one best soldier in a 1v1, in reality warrior "a" probably has an advantage over "b", who probably has an advantage over "c" etc etc also, a sort of master-of-all is master-of-none/to be strong everywhere is to be weak everywhere sort of thing is at work as well. the best techniques and methods for fighting in a duel would not be the same as the best methods and techniques one would use as part of a group. someone who devotes themselves to mastery of one has a one-up on someone who tries to mastery both (given that there are one two possibilities, when reality there are probably many more which further decreases the plausibility of attempting to master all styles) | ||

Rambo has nothing on this guy. | ||
