People who want to call themselves "warfighters" are like guys who wear t-shirts with pecs and abs printed on the front. If you want to be accurate, call the military "the military." Macho men can call them "warriors." If you want to be American, call them "servicemen" and "servicewomen." One thing we should never call them is "police." This Nazi shit is working on my last nerve.
As a retired Air Force officer, I am definitely NOT in favor of the term "warfighter." In fact, I spent my career in the ballistic missile field. It's no accident that our largest ICBM is named "Peacekeeper." (May all the gods help us if Peacekeeper is ever used as a warfighter.)

One cutthroat word (in both senses) that I really like -- dreadnought!
Dreadnought: now *there* was a warfighter.
When a libertarian goes seasteading on a cruise ship in international waters, they should call that ship a "treadnaught" :')

The "Peacekeeper" has as much to do with peace as the "Patriot Act" has to do with patriots.
