SIMILAR TO CHINA, INDIA, IRAN, AND RUSSIA now...Everything that has advanced these 4 current countries is based on learning from America. The same way the Europeans learned from the Ottomans.Wow, really. Too much cheap movies are no good for you.
Yes, a lot of the USMC customs, such as the Mehteran (Military Band), Mameluke Sword (Swords used by the Slave Warriors of the Sultan), Tughra (Seal of the Sultan which is similar to the navy seal), Red Flag (Red Ottoman Flag), and more. The Janissaries were not overhyped, they were Multi-Cultural Soldiers trained with the best weapons, armor, and technology of their era. They were the supreme Superpower of their time period, similar to America now. Once the Ottomans declined, the European powers learning technology from them came up and became the new superpowers...SIMILAR TO CHINA, INDIA, IRAN, AND RUSSIA now...Everything that has advanced these 4 current countries is based on learning from America.

Ottoman Mameluke Sword
A Mameluke sword is a cross-hilted, curved, scimitar-like sword historically derived from sabres used by Mamluk warriors of Mamluk Egypt from whom the sword derives its name. It is related to the shamshir,[1] which had its origins in Persia from where the style migrated to India, Egypt and North Africa[2] and the Turkish kilij. It was adopted in the 19th century by several Western militaries, including the French Army, British Army and the United States Marine Corps. Although some genuine Ottoman sabres were used by Westerners, most "mameluke sabres" were manufactured in Europe or America; their hilts were very similar in form to the Ottoman prototype, but their blades tended to be longer, narrower and less curved than those of the true kilij, while being wider and also less curved than the Persian shamshir. In short, the hilt retained its original shape and the blade tended to resemble the blade-form typical of contemporary Western military sabres. The Mameluke sword remains the ceremonial side arm for some units to this day.
United States Marine Corps
Today's U.S. Marine Corps officers' Mameluke sword closely resembles those first worn in 1826.
Marine Corps history states that a sword of this type was presented to Marine First Lieutenant Presley O'Bannon by the Ottoman Empire viceroy, Prince Hamet, on December 8, 1805, during the First Barbary War, as a gesture of respect and praise for the Marines' actions at the Battle of Derne.[3] Upon his return to the United States, the state of Virginia presented him with a silver-hilted sword featuring an eaglehead hilt and a curved blade modeled after the original Mameluke sword given him by Hamet. Its blade is inscribed with his name and a commemoration of the Battle of Tripoli Harbor.[4]
Perhaps due to the Marines' distinguished record during this campaign, including the capture of the Tripolitan city of Derna after a long and dangerous desert march, Marine Corps Commandant Archibald Henderson adopted the Mameluke sword in 1825 for wear by Marine officers. After initial distribution in 1826, Mameluke swords have been worn except for the years 1859-75 (when Marine officers were required to wear the U.S. Model 1850 Army foot officers' sword), and a brief period when swords were suspended during World War II. Since that time, Mameluke swords have been worn by Marine officers in a continuing tradition to the present day.[5]

Cossacks attacked the Ottomans for recreation for fucks sake, do you really think they were considered a superpower? Lol!
You had that history teacher too?

I don't hit team mates on purpose
look battle of liegnitz a mongol army defeat the mightest European army the german teutonic knights+polish heavy cav +Knights Templar+
Knights Hospitaller.
With light cav combined with heavy and some Horsearchers. If is a soldier with peasant clothes or titan armor says nothing. the teamspirit, skills , and expirience are all, and this is what the turk mongol army do,make ambush lure heavy cav out on open field ,turn back charge the enemy from all sides . hit and run tactic . on the end of battle the european army stay alone without any mounted soldiers and get massacred. the same situation like battle of Manzigert where turks lure the byzantian khathapraktos cav out of their army destroy them and the byzantian Infantry get charged in valley from all sides from the turks
