I really dont see how they can be so ignorant.. Samurais came at a time where the rest of the world was using guns they were far behind technologically for the time.. their swords are nothing but larger versions of Ginsue knives good for sword to sword combat, but could never cut through a shield.. what a myth.. and as for their marital arts.. i would love to see what Karate could do compared to lets say a Spartan Mixed martial artist. They were brave.. but to be a warior that is standard... any good warior worth mentioning isnt afraid to die, and there are many worth mentioning.. As for their code... the only thing they shoudl be praised for .. was similar to chivalry.. but nothing that would add to their prowess as wariors, just commendalbe for its own sake. I really dont see how these warriors who never really faought enayone other than themselves who were admired becuase they were an anachronism (technologically behind ) are considered the greatest???But what do you think?
