          Europe larps as Rome way harder than the US. Which isn't to say America doesn't larp as Rome, but it's hard to compete with the region home to like half a dozen nations that have all at some point in their history attempted to claim the title of "Rome 2: This time with less Italians."

          Although to be perfectly honest Western history since the middle ages has been basically one long continuous sequence of people trying to larp as the successors of Rome.

            Sure but America did exactly the same, except larping as the Republic reborn instead of the true continuation of the empire. Hence Washington being called the new Cincinnatius.

              It never did this. The most immediate grounding was it as a product of Enlightenment reasoning. Many of the founders had solid groundings in classical studies, and often invoked antiquity (like using Publius as a pen name), but one of the explicit points of the project was to learn from the failings of past attempts at a republican/democratic structure.
              Washington was called the American Cincinnatus because he willingly gave up power, and at the time every metaphor was either classical or biblical.

              It's currently LARPing as the Roman Republic in the sense that it's a rotting cesspool of corruption and degeneracy, and the (late) Empire in that it hasn't won a meaningful strategic victory in living memory, and doesn't seem interested in dealing with barbarian invaders as long as they're at least nominally loyal to the Roman state and only rob and pillage provincial plebs.

            Not really. The potential rulers of Italy or the HRE LARPd as Romans occasionally, but after 1848, people at large generally decided that they should be LARPing as their medieval or ancient non-Roman polities.

            Even the US, meanwhile, was down with being the Globohomosexual New Jerusa-Rome rather than exposing newborns and wasting Blacks in animal fights for clout.

        I know this word gets tossed around a lot, but isn't this heresy? And not just any heresy, but exactly the kind of thing the Commissariat exists to shut the frick down and the Ministorum tries to keep people from thinking of to begin with? A guard veteran could very well think that, but he'd damn well better keep it to himself.

          Sorta.
          Heresy, in a religious sense, is the deviation from orthodoxy into something unsupported.

          To draw to IRL, if you went to a Muslim and told them "Jesus died on the cross for your sins", they'd declare you a heretic, because their orthodoxy (roughly) says 'prophets or holy men of god cannot be slain like that by mortal hand'.

          Or, if you said the serpent taught Eve how to write, study the world, and make great insights, and God punished her because he was afraid of what she and Adam might reach, that's a deviation from acceptable Orthodoxy/narrative, and is such, heresy.
          Not to be confused with Apostacy, which is just flagging the whole thing down as bullshit, and turning your back on the mess.

          So, in the case of "this war only exists so corporations can make a profit", it sorta is. In that in M41, everything is religious, so the idea of deviating from accepted narrative that "this war exists for the sake of humanity and the Emperor's goals" is debatably heretical.
          However, you could also argue it down to denominations of faith. Because with religious facism, you can swing a little, but you can't swing too far.
          So you could argue that "this war is to make mining profits possible for big corporate" is not heretical, if the interpretation is said corporate is as an extension of the Emperor's will for humanity, and this pragmatic interpretation of action through life is how the populace view he on Terra.

          So yes. But also not necessarily.

            Conversely, you can also frame "this war only exists so corporations can make a profit" within the context of Imperial orthodoxy through claiming the corporation is the one engaging in heretical behavior.

            Fun Fact: each bolter round is diamond (or the 40k BS version of it anyway) tipped. So there would be plenty of reasons to include that in your backstory.

      The Scintillan Fusiliers lightly borrow aesthetics from the Continental Army of the AWI, though I'd say culturally they're a bit different. You could see them as a very negative, critical take on the Patriots, i.e. a bunch of rich dickheads engaging in war for opportunistic advancement rather than principle.
      Other than that, Catachans are frequently portrayed with American accents, and are basically all the cheesy "commando" tropes of the 80's put together.

            I'm sure they're a pastiche (hon hon) of various troops but large scale paratroopers with higher than average equipment seems closer to American and British paratroopers during WW2 while the Harakoni were more like the commando units dropped the same way. Most of the armies are a mixture of various real life armies with few exceptions like the Arkan Confederates which are straight steampunk confederate soldiers ported to 40k.

                Krieg is not Germany from WW1 in space. The Death Korps of Krieg are vitae-womb grown soldiers that exist to repay a debt to the Emperor for their planet's betrayal and a civil war that left their planet's topside irradiated and uninhabitable. They excel at siege and trench warfare and all that comes with it. Their regiments are often artillery or infantry, and their methods of promotion are based on merit and, most importantly, survival. They are fatalistic, but not stupid. At Vraks groups of them killed commissars that were attempting to prevent their retreat from certain death. There's more, too. But read the Siege of Vraks IA books.

                Unless of course you mean aesthetically, and in that case you'd still be oversimplifying it.

                Yes that's exactly what I mean. There's nothing stopping you from changing their fluff to whatever you want. You think Tallarns are 1:1 space arabs? Of course not! But both Krieg and Vostroya share something with their historical counterparts beyond just their appearance. Just as the Germans were masters of trench warfare, so are the Krieg. Just as the arab tribals excelled at hit and run tactics, so does Tallarn. But you can build atop that to make anything you want. My friend is making the friggin ottomans in Space. Doesn't mean they're exactly like their historical counterpoints. They'll have their own backstory but tweaked to be an Imperial client state instead of the actual turks.

                Considering the German's performance on the Eastern front and the fact that they both failed to overcome the french trenches or defend their own, I think there are good reasons why the Kriegers are wearing french trench coats...

                Is that why the war was fought entirely on French and Belgian territory and they very nearly captured Paris three times?

                And their actual designs are WW1 French uniforms wearing picklehaubes. They even have elan as their entire shtick.

    “WHY ARE YOU IN MY BELOVED IMPERIAL GUARD, MAGGOT?”

    He’d been through Chaos artillery shellings, had Deffguns explode in his face, nearly smashed into paste by Titans, and felt the ground move when a whole city of Termagants began tear-assing through an open field towards his battalion, but none of them were quite as Earth-shaking as the new Commissar in front of him yelling. He could /feel/ the dirt below him shift. Every vein on his face and neck that wasn’t covered up by a cape or the broad Witcherfinder-esque cap that /definitely/ wasn’t Commissar issue was bulging.

    The only thing that bulged harder were the red ropes around the arms of other Commissars following this guy around, who were mean-mugging the rest of the line.

    “I-”

    “MAGGOT I DIDN’T HEAR A FRAKKING ‘SIR’ OUT OF THAT PHALLUS-HOLSTER. DO WE GO OUT TO THE PUB AFTER HOURS AND GRAB EACH OTHER’S ASSES AND SING SONGS AROUND A CAMPFIRE???”

    “Sir, I-”

    “OH THE MAGGOT THINKS IT RATES AN ‘I’??????? THINKS IT’S UP THERE WITH THE FRAKKIN’ EMPEROR???? WHY DON’T WE STOP BY THE FRAKKING CHAPLAIN AND GET YOU A NEW PAIR OF SHINY SAINT WINGS TOO.”

    “Sir, this recr-”

    “EMPEROR’S BOWELS NOW I KNOW YOU XENOS-HUMPIN’ LIMP-WRISTED SPIRE-BORN NOH-/BELS/ ONLY HAD EIGHT.

    FRAKKIN’.

    WEEKS. TO HAVE THE PRIVILEGE TO CALL YOURSELVES ‘GUARDSMEN’ AND EIGHT.

    FRAKKING.

    WEEKS OF FRAKKING LUXURY IS NOT ENOUGH FOR ME, DO YOU UNDERSTAND? SO HELP ME EMPEROR IF YOU ENJOYED YOUR VACATION CAMP BEFORE YOU HAD THE SO-CALLED RIGHT TO BE A GUARDSMAN AND LOVED IT SO MUCH YOU WANNA STAY THERE, JUST SAY SO, MAGGOT.”

    “Sir, this guards-”

    “I FRAKKING SAID. YOU WANNA GO BACK TO YOUR VACATION, RECRUIT? MAYBE WE'LL GIVE YOU SHORE LEAVE TO THE LIVE FIRE PIT WITH THE REST OF THE PRISONERS!!!”

    “Sir, no-”

    “SOUND OFF LIKE YOU AIN’T AN EUNUCH FOR THE EMPEROR.”

    “Sir, no, sir!”

    “I DIDN’T HEAR DREK. LOUDER!”

    “SIR-”

    “LOUDER!!!!!!”

    “SIR, YES, SIR!”

    Cadians, despite largely being assumed to be generic armed forces, are based on the Canadian special forces from WWII (hence the name), so not them, but there are definitely a few that are distinctly American.
    Catachans are Rambo, obviously, but Stallone is very much a New York Italian, so that only half counts.
    Harakoni Warhawks, however, are Easy Company with carapace armor. Maybe a little 82nd Airborne mixed in, but those two are the posterboys for badass American paratroopers, so they go hand in hand.
    Necromunda's regiment, the Necromunda Spiders, is, unsurprisingly, based on inner city street gangs, and given that 40k has guns in it, that means they have to be American cities instead of British ones.
    The Last Chancers are also pretty clearly the Dirty Dozen, and I'm pretty sure the characters in that were all Americans.
    Arkhan Confederates are also around, despite only appearing in Black Library so far, and are an analog for, of all things, the Confederate States of America's armed forces.
    Which reminds me, I should finish working on my Arkhan kill team.

    I imagine a regiment with the mentality and personality of Jungle Fighters (no nonsense but still possessing good humor, and a healthy disrespect for The Man) and the equipment and tactics of the Steel Legion (very VERY mechanized, loves shock-and-awe)
