I want to ask people something, the title may explain it, but what do you think war is and how do you think that this meaning affects the way that we play or do things? The second one is more straightforward, but what is a warrior? I am interested to find out what other people have to comment on this idea.

How come only the dim reply to intellectual queries such as these. I ask not for mass consumption but on your views, is that not what a discussion is or do people just abuse their right to be stupid? But then again what kinds of questions would stupid people ask. They definitly do not get smart enough in time to ask intelligent questions.

Another failure on the whole idea of the topic, Sun Tzu was a strategist who wrote about his experiences that lay down the basic guidlines for commanding and deploying troops. The question I ask is what is war and how does this relate to the warrior.

Simply said, war is a conflict betweenf a peoples' ideas. That's what it all boils down to.
