There is no honour in being a warrior. This concept is a vestige of our savage past. At best one could argue that it's a sometimes necessary function. The problem is that in order to maintain the capability and infrastructure to deploy that function, and in order to offer some solace to the people we ask to carry out that function, we have to maintain the fiction that it's all very honourable. Which leads to young people in some of the richest, most comfortable countries of the world actually volunteering to join the military, believing that they are doing a great service. It's a despicable sham, and a horrible waste.
