This idea, the 'universal warrior' is nonsense. Heck, the Macedonian phalangite wouldn't have fit in a Roman legion (Plb. 18.28ff) and vice versa. A Spartan wouldn't have been properly drilled to fight in either! War is not constant, and neither are combatants.https://twitter.com/SPressfield/status/1346185128742014976 …

But to be clear, just as there is no universal warrior, there is no universal soldier either. War, war does in fact change.

I can see modern nation-states not having warriors. Do warriors become warriors because they're born into a warrior class? Or is it being not paid that differentiates them from a soldier?

I’ve seen “war-fighter” to encompass all branches of the military.

“Soldier” from the same root as “soldi.” That means, you get paid. Paid to kill and destroy. The new phrase “war fighting” etc. carefully elides the dirty confluence of violence and wealth.

"Warrior Culture" has become a big topic in Australia as one of the underlying causes of SAS war crimes. Warriors kill prisoners as an initiatory "blooding", take trophies from corpses, and compete for kills. From ADF chief Alex Campbell's speech:pic.twitter.com/4dKeOb5aam

Do you have a link for that full speech?
