well what about gilgalad, fingolfin, feanor, mablung, beleg, fingon, sons of feanor, ecthelion, glorfindel. all where great fighters. for me it comes down to 2 things. first elves are a hardier then any other, the dont get sick, they live forever hence big time experience (unless they are killed), and second thing it depends on what they are fighting. Dwarves are particulary talented against dragons as it says in the silmarillion, but over all elves fair the best against the enemy.

Elf's are perfect archmen but the urik-ai was built for the complete annialation of the race of men. Wow that kicksass and so they have no other purpose besides destroy like the sentinals, storm troopers you name it.

but that's just skills that come with them when they r born, not earned.
whereas men, though they r born weak, they work hard to become stronger. so they r mentally stronger too.
just look at aragorn, he fair better than most elf, even without the advantages.

Perhaps I need to rephrase that...All meaning, ALL beings of Middle earth...have skills worthy of appraisal??...I was merely supporting what was said about elves and dwarves having different skills for different situations and needs!!..No need to get upset...(please log in to view the image)

I dont think elves are warlike in nature, but men on the other hand are breed for it................i know elves can last longer in battle but men have the heart for it

EXTRA LESSONS WITH SNAPE -what on earth had he done to deserve this?
Amazing, how much more difficult it was to extend his arm tvelve inches and touch her hand than it was to snatch a speeding Snitch from midair. There are more qoutes in my profile.
Men of course...middle earth is the world of man, and a soldier fights for his home better than anything.
Therefore Men and Hobbits and Dwarves would make the best soldiers, but the latter two have several defeciencies...one is hobbits are small weak and dull-whitted on the average...and Dwarves take a long time to reproduce, they are also a bit sidetracked by gold lol...
And war IS the answer...which is why man evolved to fight it.
Men are the best fighters, but the Uruk-Hai are excellent also because they have no fear, They Ruthless, and they use Sauron's weapons against Men and Elves. Dread and Despair.
I think elves... cuz wizards wouldnt give very good soldiers... and elves are imho also better than men, at least until the second age.
the bad thing bout them - they are so few
