Star Trek, Honor, and War

Post by BlkbrryTheGreat »

We all know the fixation that Klingons have with Honor and War.... But honestly how long do you think Klingons would have to spend in a WWI trench before they came to the conclusion that there is nothing honorable or great about War?

Still, Klingons aren't known as the greatest warriors in ST for nothing. :wink:

They'd all be wiped out first. There is no beating logic into something so stupid. Either side of the conflict could easily handle millions or tens millions of Klingon's attacking in a human wave.

The Russians would gun down the Klingon's till the bodies where piled waste high. At that point they'd be out of ammunition. Then they'd continue to beat the Klingon's hand to hand, a rifle with bayonet being far better for such then what the Klingon's have. Only an insane numerical advantage would carry the day for the Klingon Empire.

It would take a few bullets to bring down a Klingon though, look at "The Killing Game", Klingons just OWN the Nazi's there, and they were drunk too, they may be able to hold their own in WW1, but it would take a LONG time to get the disillusionmant they're talking about.

*imagines artillery fire tearing through Klingon hordes*
*imagines british tanks breaking through their lines*
*imagines rifle and Maxim salvoes cutting masses of them down*

MWWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA DIIEEEE MENTALLY RETARDED SCUM DIIIIIIEEEEEEE BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Seriously, what can the Klingons field against a WWI army?
Small arms and little mortars.
No machineguns. No true artillery. No armoured vehicles.

They're fucked. And probably think what a great and glorious fight it was :roll:
