The “Warrior Ethos” emphasizes placing the mission first, not accepting defeat, and being disciplined physically and mentally. Why? Because an American Soldier is a “guardian of freedom and the American way of life.

About This Quote

The Warrior Ethos is used to describe the mental state of a soldier. The warrior ethos relates to their physical state by placing the mission first. A soldier is not the one who gives up first, but rather the one who keeps fighting even when they are beaten. The mindset is one of discipline, to see the mission through to completion.

When you think about it, this makes perfect sense. If you do not complete your mission, you betray your country and all that it stands for. There will be no peace nor freedom if you do not complete your mission; instead there will be more war until there is no country left standing.
