Society is similar to an egg. The core of an egg is soft and gooey. However, this core cannot exist or maintain its shape without being surrounded and protected by a hard shell. Society cannot exist and maintain its shape without being surrounded and protected by a hard shell of warriors.

What are warriors? Warriors are those who wage war. No matter your personal beliefs about war, whether you think it is ever good or whether it is ever a solution—war is inevitable—and anytime there is a war, warriors are needed to wage the war.

In every war, there are several categories of citizens:

• Those who are afraid to fight and run away.

• Those who refuse to fight for various reasons including it would interfere with their lifestyle.

• Those who accept war but do not believe in fighting, so they serve in other ways.

• Those who will fight if called but do not volunteer.

• Those who feel a duty to fight and will volunteer.

• Those who love to fight and will seek any opportunity to fight.

Warriors are those in the last two categories. Warriors not only feel a duty to fight, they love to fight.

Merely fighting does not make one a warrior. A warrior is a person whose calling is to fight. Just as some think they have been called to become ministers or priests, some think they were born to be warriors or were called to warriors.

People are not born warriors; they must become warriors. Becoming a warrior is not as easy as completing a couple of months of basic training. Although basic training is the first step in warrior training, it is not when a warrior’s training first begins. Training to become a warrior begins in infancy. Everything a child experiences and learns during his or her early years and years of growth helps determine whether the child will grow into a warrior, or just another ordinary person. Warriors know early in their life that they are protectors.

Practically anyone may be trained to be soldier, marine, sailor, etc. but only an elite few can become warriors. Warriors are the ones who are trained to fight, are able to fight, have the will to fight, and, most of all, they view fighting as what they were always meant to do. Ordinary military personnel carry out their assigned duties to the best of their abilities, and, if those duties involve fighting, they will fight to the best of their abilities. Sometimes during their fighting, they are thrown into situations that demand heroic acts. When this occurs, most will do what is required and thus become heroes, either while alive or posthumously. Whereas, warriors to not wait to be sent into harm’s way, they joyfully put themselves in harm’s way, volunteer to fight, and relish the time when they are able to fight. Warriors fight because that is what warriors do.
