Ninja Vs Samurai

[nobora]

hard to choose ninjas are quick, and undetected.
samurai are honarable, and merciless

Wow... it's amazing how pop culture has distorted history.

Ninja were NOTHING like Naruto.

They were spies, assassins etc.
Samurai were soldiers, warriors.

If we were to make a modern day comparison, a ninja would be compared to a CIA operative while a Samurai would be a Marine.

It is like comparing a horse with a motorbike; you can do it, but you're a retard if you do.

Why don't they cut it?

I think they are accurate comparisons with concern to the roles of ninja and Samurai.

Samurai didn't have morals.... that's bullshit.

Samurai followed what their lord told them to do. THAT was what they considered morals. Unquestioning loyalty.

If their lord said burn down a village they would burn it down and kill all the civilians.

Also SWAT's role is limited.. I don't think they're SWAT.

The movie Munich starring Eric Bana about the Israeli spies. These guys I would consider a good comparison. CIA, KGB, MI6 etc.

killing yourself instead of being defeated isnt a moral?

No.... At least not by todays standards it isn't.

Of course Samurai would've held morals which required them to do such a thing.
