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.

"Okay, so there’s no alternative definitions of words than - yours."

You still don't get it. The English language is the rule book of our civilization. If we start playing fast and loose with what words mean, the next thing you know, we start getting homosexuals demanding the right to be "married", even though by definition of "marriage", they can't. We get illegal aliens demanding to be called "undocumented immigrants", even that's not what they are. We get gloBULL warming dipsticks calling a blast of winter weather a "polar vortex". We get anti-gun tyrants calling semi-auto rifles "assault weapons", even though they're not. We get dumba** reporters calling presidential candidates in a debate "combatants" -- though I wouldn't have minded seeing a big brawl onstage during one of those endless debates in 2012...at least that one would've been interesting.

"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?"

No...you're still not getting it. Warriors train for and engage in combat on behalf of their nation/state/village/tribe/etc. All the flowery rhetoric about the good of humanity sounds warm and fuzzy...but it's delusional. Army Cav Scouts, Marine infantrymen, A-10 pilots, Navy destroyer gunners -- they are warriors. Ghandi, Rev. Martin Luther King and yes, even Marcus Lutrell's mother, were/are not, despite the good deeds they did and the suffering they endured.

Anyone who wants to be a warrior needs to go talk to their local recruiter, take the oath of enlistment, and put on the uniform of their nation.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
