deckardcanineI've seen the word "warrior" in several government-affiliated documents now, and I've given to the Wounded Warriors Project, but I'm still not used to it. Maybe I'm too influenced by video games. To me the word evokes the distant past, before gunpowder caught on. It's probably meant to convey nobility, but I don't like to think of modern soldiers as one step away from vikings.
We'll see if they still use the word this way in a few decades. More importantly, we'll see if it spreads to the mainstream media and private lay conversations.
