I've always leaned towards the idea of the Warrior as something respectable and noble, someone who knows his place in the grand scheme of things and uses his better judgement to understand what has to be done.

As for soldier and fighter, I think those are pretty appearent, they are 2 dimensional personas.

Defining a warrior is very difficult for me, even if I can ignore all the cultural ideas of what a warrior is and how he acts.

Take America for instance, does it truly have any warriors left or just soldiers and glorified kickboxers who fight for money and fame rather then anyhting morally or spiritually substantial
