    I'd say the Irish - The Vikings kept getting beaten of the island when they fought for things but after they settled and traded things were fine.

    I am a fan of the Japanese-era warfare of ancient Japan and to some extent early modern Japanese warfare(bansai charges, kamikaze, etc.). I just like the whole code of honor and way of the warrior, bushido, and all that stuff.


    I also like the Early Modern Germans(WW1, WW2 somewhat). In WW1, towards the end, they were taking on practically the whole world and it was basically a stalemate that would have lasted for some time, and Allied casulties to German casulties was some outrageous ratio of like 10:1. I'm not positive, but it was something like that. Anyways, Just talking about the soldiers/ fighting styles, not neccesarily the leaders of said soldiers.

    I'd say Irish, but Celtic, Greek, and the Turks are nice too.

    Who then. Has to be the Vietnamese in the Vietnam War. I think no nation has won a war with such numbers, technology and weapons massed against them. They won through with back to basics tactics, sheer grit and determination.
    But mainly one of the best PR machines known to man, and incompetent opposing leadership.

    The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! - William Pitt the Elder
