jIQoch. "Willingly" doesn't have the right punch for this meaning.
Saying, "We willingly feast on those who would subdue us." isn't all that
scary. "We gladly feast..." implies that the speaker not only feasts on
his enemies, but revels in doing so. It is this part, the joy in the
defeat of ones enemies, that really strikes me as Klingon.
