I think you might have missed the point of my post. It's laughable because it is so far from reality, not because the ideals are something to be laughed at.

- zarkov99 6y agoI would argue that American males are closer to the warrior archetype than any other democracy. We certainly have fought more actual wars than any other advanced nation, we have the best combat athletes in the world, many of us hunt, shoot and practice warrior like skills. I am hard pressed to think of any other modern society that comes even close.
- mrmonkeyman 6y ago95% of your population is _not_ fighting wars and is not manly in the slightest. You just have allocated a sickening chunk of your significant GDP to the military machine. If you are looking for a high percentage hardass peoples I'd look in the baltic regions, Russia comes to mind. Some African nations too. Americans are lazy and fat and know no hardship. Which is fine. Good actually. Just don't parade the warrior archetype.
