you do realize the the phrase ‚warrior‘ is about as UnAmerican as it can be ?

Is a perversion of 200 years of our Republics ideals. The term only became used in the 1990s; another sign of decline

Maybe to a service-avoiding, enemy-embracing, freedom-enjoying-yet-not-duty-performing sort (not you, I’m sure) it would seem so.

But the rest of us are just fine with being our country’s warriors/fighters/combatants. Something to proud of, right?

So much better than being forced to speak Russian, German, Japanese, or Chinese by new masters, isn’t it?

The word “WARRIOR” is derived from the OLD FRENCH, meaning Soldier, especially a brave soldier. Derived from Guerrier taken from Guerre, meaning WAR.

The term is as old as history of civilized people. Only idiots think it came into use in the 1990’s. In the 1940’s we were talking about our warriors.

Can we assume by this statement you have never heard the snap of a bullet past your head, seen a stream of tracers deceptively looking as they are floating towards you, heard the crump of a close grenade/mortar hit or felt the burn of a piece of hot metal heading for your innards while in combat in Americas service? If you have never been in 'actual' close combat, feeling the sphincter tugging effect of close calls knowing just how close you came to just not existing anymore. I would refrain from trying to frame or define for others how un-American a 'Warrior' is. Life is full of unmarried marriage counsellors, if you have truly walked this walk then hopefully you can feel American again if you were truly an actual Warrior.
