Your Latinos, Afros, WASPs, American Indians, etcetera go into the pot, get stirred about a bit, and come out as ... Americans. As for war and warriors, <em>"Sun Tzu said: The art of war is of vital importance to the State. It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected."</em> Amen.

Seems quite controversial to my mind. First of all - the nation was, is and will be separated onto big racial and culure elements (like Afros, WASP, latinos and my own American Indians). Of course during history of the States there was a strong tendency of culture standartization. That's why my Delawares, as many others, speak English as their everyday language an so on. More to say - let's look for example at white warriors. Who were their enemies after Revolution? Indians - almost always less numbered and badly armed; Latinos and Spanish - who had long ago lost their old conquistadors' élan; Germans - already defeated before American arrival; Japs - whose economic power was on the Belgium level during war; Koreans and Chinese - who stayed undefeated in the end; Vietnamese - remember me who took the victory?; etc. So - here is my idea: American Nation is the agressive nation, but not the warrior's one. Last but not least - and this is deep matter - despite of its weak warrior's power The USA could win almost all their wars. This is the truth. So? Hmm. Seems quite controversial to my mind.
