    Always proud to hear the Samoan Warriors. They are fearless, trustworthy and loyal to the death. I fought side by side with these magnificent courage's bastards. It was a sight to see. The Taliban picked the wrong date to fight the Americans. They ran smack into a Company of Samoa National Guards and got their ass wiped out. There was no celebration or war dance. There was only a sweet melody so soft like they were singing to their gods. My men were amazed and in awe of a heart felt song. How can these vicious warriors killed almost 10 Taliban and capable of singing a song so sad that made grown men cried? Amazing!

She was the first ever Samoan person I’d ever met…she was tiny but she had such a loud voice and very commanding which is what put her at the top. Never heard anything like it now I know why

      You missed one important part of the song. It’s not just being a husband, but being a husband and living with your wife’s family on their land. That’s the real problem. In Samoan culture, living with your spouse’s family, especially if you are the oldest among your sibling in laws, it means you perform most of the hard tasks, if not all.

    In the mid 80s, while commanding a rifle company in the 25th ID, I spent a few weeks on the Big Island as an observer during the 100th Bn, 442 Inf summer exercises. As luck would have it, I spent my time with the company from Samoa. My craziest memory is of watching a platoon drop their rucks AND weapons to chase after a wild boar they had come across, eventually surrounding it and ‘dispatching’ it with knives. No packs of dogs needed by those men to hunt boars.

    I tell you what people if you don't know this because the camera is from a distance...those are some big sonsa-bitches. Went to Afghanistan with a Samoan in our troop, he was about 6' tall and all of 240 pounds of meat and bone with a neck like my thigh. Apparently, he came from a family of 6 boys and he was the small one. Charlie troop also had a Samoan guy...this monster...I shit you not...all of 6'5" and he must of been pushing 280.
    So we're downrange in 2010 when a VBIED hits the Samoan's platoon (no casualties for us thank god), purposely omitting his name btw. They find the head of the bad guy and apparently this Samoan guy starts cutting the ear off the head for some kind of war trophy....when the first sergeant sees it and screams at him to stop...can you imagine what CNN would do with that footage?
    Epilogue...that was the Samoan staff Sergeant's SIXTH combat tour of duty.

      Back in the days before Christianity came to Samoa, our ancestors were head hunters, the head of their foe was usually taken as a trophy and hung by the side of their war garments, this head would be collected or presented to our chief which usually gained fame and glory for that warrior. One Samoan warrior was known to build a wall of Skulls of all his enemies, the more skulls you had usually signified the warriors might.

      I appreciate that because I truly am grateful to be born in the islands to experience exactly what you’re saying. I moved to Portland Oregon when I was 17 from Micronesia which is Polynesia’s less known cousin and we can also enlist in the US military like Samoans do cus some of us are US citizens like Guam and Saipan but the rest of us that aren’t US citizens can still enlist even from back home simply because of the relationship we have with the Americans since after they liberated us from Japan and you touched on the most valuable thing I hold on to from the islands and that are the stories I was told by my elders. Hollywood couldn’t write a script better although when the movie 300 came out that was the only movie that reminded me of Pacific Island legends I was told. So kudos to Hollywood they nailed it on that one there’s been great warrior movies don’t get me wrong but 300 touched on things I never seen movies touch on that I recall oral traditions speaking on like going to war against human hybrids. That’s very real to us as a matter of fact in my island I’m from a village called Toway and every village in my island has a moniker and my villages moniker is monster killers. Cus we had to go to war with Giants and hybrids so that’s why 300 is my favorite movie ever cus nobody did it like they did. Kept it real as far as I’m concerned

I never noticed the poor Snuffy that couldn't stay in step, Tankers just cant' march. As for Samoan Warrior Ethos, I never noticed it SSG Kiliona, nice guy but when I was his gunner, well he was awful hard headed, & would NOT listen to anyone. Hell of a Guy, when we were off the Tanks. He died in a auto accident in late '83, miss ya Buddy. . .
