Klingon Views on Warrior Cultures of Earth

[Dingo]

I recently re-watched the DS9 episode Soldiers of the Empire and wondered what 24th Century Klingons (if the opinion hasn't been established) of warrior cultures of Earth such as the Maori, the Shaolin, the Vikings and the like? I'm quite certain they would identify with traits of a number of warrior societies such as the ruthlessness of the spetsnaz or the fanatical devotion to honor of the Samurai or the strength and professionalism of the US Army Rangers but I wonder what other warrior cultures they might find to be 'kindred souls' among Earth's stable of warriors.

Romans would be considered likened that of Klingons.... Most movies wrongly portrayed Romans, but in reality I believe the Romans were actually the brutal ones...and not the people they conquered. All the steel age tribal people they conquer, such as the Celts and Gaelic, were actually hunter and gatherer most of the time. They got together to fight off the invading professional Romans army. The reason it was hard for the Romans to conquer these people was they always were outnumbered against the united Germanic tribes of Northern Europe. A lot of the time they were outnumbered even 10 to 1.

Also even the Native Americans.

They probably consider they fight as well as some of the ancient Muay Thai fighters during war time. These guys often fought in an situation where they were outnumbered and striked fear into their enemies' heart.

They would probably call all of them "without honor".

I imagine that just as warriors today respect other warriors, Klingons who were serious about being warriors -- serious about a code of honor or discipline, say -- would respect others who were similarly devoted, even if they fought on opposing sides.

They'd probably appreciate the skill and bravery of the sword-wielding ones. Klingons have a thing for swords.
