ceases to amaze me. It's lack of knowledge about it's own history always irritates me.

Theses battles: "(The Warrior Ethos was present at) Cowpens, Lundy’s Lane, Chapultepec, Little Round Top, San Juan Hill, Montfaucon, Krinkelt, Chipyong-ni, Dak To and Iraq." Are direct refutations of the warrior ethos -- all entailed disciplined soldiers doing things that most warriors would not have done. The first battle, in fact, took advantage of 'warrior' traits on both sides to use a few disciplined Soldiers to win a battle -- leading to the win of a war...

No warrior ethos to it. Soldiers doing what needed to be done. I agree with Hacksaw that the intent and the result were good -- doesn't change the fact that warrior was and is a poor choice of a word.
