「兵隊(soldiers)」と「戦士(warriors)」の違いについて。その2

Ian Morris, "The Age of Modern Warfare," Stratfor, 14 Jun 2017, (17 Jun 2017)より引用。

"When farmers created the first proper states, with governments led by godlike kings who had the power to coerce others to do as they were told, one of the first things rulers did was to use this force to turn warriors into soldiers. The distinction between the two is that a warrior is a wild young man who will kill when his mad blood stirs but will run away when the odds look bad, while a proper soldier is a disciplined professional who will stand his ground and would rather die than disgrace his regiment. "
