As for supermen , like now some soldiers are real good , and disiplined , and there are some that are total crap and commit crimes . It was the same back then.

Exactly. Those who think they are samurai almost consider it like they were jedi or something, it's totally wrong. The samurai were "just" the japanese military back then.

Like Mystic says, even in Japan, samurai origins don't matter anymore. So what's the point of claiming you are one?

Besides, I think most of the people who really believe they are samurai just need friends to play with, or something. I also think they would wet their pants if they really had to pick up a live blade for a duel (now, I'm not saying I would do better, but at least I don't claim to be a samurai).

btw, the Edo period is: 1603 - 1867. So Khabbi wasn't far from it

(I looked it up).
