Uh...no. That's what's meant by "words mean things." You can call a dog a fish and a horse an airplane, but you'd be wrong. A dog is a dog, a fish is a fish, a horse is a horse, and an airplane is an airplane. Words mean things, not whatever someone wants them to mean at any particular time.
People may want to think of themselves, or those they admire, as "warriors", but unless they served in a combat arms MOS in the military, they're not. They may wish they were warriors, but again, they're not. They're only deluding themselves...they're not warriors, only whatever they are.
To call some room temperature IQ'd, knuckle dragging, illiterate professional football player(s) a "warrior" is to dishonor those who have fought our nation's battles for 238+ years.
"Best of luck to you. I think you're going to need it."
Why would I need luck? God loves me, and I was a US Army 19D Cavalry Scout for 11 years. If I can't fight my way out of a tight spot, God's got my back. I don't need luck...I'm a warrior.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Okay, so there’s no alternative definitions of words than - yours.
And, there is no acting with courage for the right things and facing serious harm or death on behalf of principles which affect all of humanity except the acts that are made by trained military personnel in militaries which - you approve.
Because that’s what warriors do, right? They act with courage for the right things and face serious harm or death on behalf of principles which affect all of humanity - right?
And NO ONE ELSE does that in the whole world except MOS-certified military personnel that you acknowledge.
Just wanted to get all of that clear. Thanks for sharing.
wku brother, I think you’re falling on deaf ears with this one.
A civil discussion turns into a barn burner over the definition of a word.
Kind of ridiculous.
And for the record... No, football players are NOT warriors - STILL.
