“...taking offense because the word warrior is applied to the attitude of a pro football player and requiring it to be applied only to military SF is absurd. ...”
I didn’t “take offense”.
But comparing a football player - an entertainer - to a Warrior who willingly risks his life every time he steps outside the compound is to my mind, what is absurd.
Talk to me about the dangers Sherman faces, versus 40-odd SEALs and other personnel on a CH47 Chinook getting shot down by RPGs in Afghanistan, and then tell what’s absurd.
You can see things anyway/however you choose to, friend. That is what an “opinion” forum is all about. That yours happens to disagree with mine is just the way it is.

Hmm, 40-odd SEALs facing death.
How many million American women getting their genitals felt up at airports all over America? And how many people facing that atrocity, while Muslims proceed unmolested? You want to talk about warriors, what happens when those men come home and have to put up with that? Who'se going to study the law and change it - peacefully - to stop the rape, and destruction of the country? You know why conservatives don't do that? You know why your limited-definition of warrior doesn't do that?
It's too dangerous, that's why.
Strut your military attitude all you want - you're still bringing your wife and duaghters to the airport while standing meekly by, never even cracking the statutes to see what the limitations are, because you're too afraid to stand up to it.
Warrirors go to where the battle is - not to where they want it to be. And denager doesn't just come from a bullet - the danger to the mind and emotions that millions face if they act courageously is just as real as a bullet.
And if you actually need to face bullets, then just try to stand up for the right interpretations of the limitations of the laws in this country and see what reality-check the SWAT teams give you. Oh, except you won't - because it's too dangerous.
