Q: What traits should a soldier and/or warrior have in your opinions?
A: To be a warrior is to be a person that acts to protect (defensively or offensively) what they believe in (honor, society, leaders, religion, etc..) Courage #1 thing right there Discipline Fit (In good Shape) Able to act on any moment/circumstance Conditioned (against heat, cold, pain) Inspiring (when you charge others should follow) At least in my opinion this a warrior. Edit: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In most cases warriors are of higher value than a soldier. They are harder to come by, and they are much better trained, and armed. A mercenary is an example of a warrior, though not a very good one. A samurai as well a knight, are good examples. A soldier like many have already said, is poorly trained and equipped only enough to survive. They are te basic fighters of an army, and are expendable. They usually only fight because they have to. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "There is no such thing as bad soldiers only bad leaders/officers."
