I think the warriors get all the glory, but its the engineers who change the world, electricity, light bulb, computers, email etc.

I think the warriors get all the glory,

Do you think warriors "get all the glory" because they do something good and laudable?

Do you think warriors "get all the glory" because they do something bad, that others don't want to do, as a form of compensation so other people don't have to do it? And over time, extolling the virtues of the behavior have become an automatic response making it appear as though they get the glory, rather than need the glory to make the job desirable.

There was an interesting article not too long ago that touched on feminism.
One idea touched on was there seems to be such a focus on women in the military, women CEO's, women in position of power in government, but almost nothing regarding more women in construction, more female plumbers, more female trash collectors, sewage specialists. The basic jobs that are critical for everyday life to keep moving.

Clearly shows no clue about what being a warrior is even about.

There is no "glory" in warfare, only death and destruction.

Glory in war is something made up by fat old men in offices who send out young men to die for profit.

The family's of the warriors, as you call them, also get all the worry while they are away on duty and the grief if they lose their lives.

There can be no more a selfless person than one who is willing to lay down his life for the sake of downtrodden people around the world.
I think they deserve all the plaudits they get, who else is brave enough or crazy enough to face the likes of Isis.
This applies to all Countries, not just my own.

I like those warriors who fought for the just causes such as in WW2 where my grandparents fought. On the other hand I get turned off by all those social justice warriors, especially those funded by Soros.

Totally agree with jo
Will add this :
It is the warriors that enable the engineers to do good
Kajaki, Afghanistan comes to mind, but the list is very long and impressive YOU CAN'T FIX THE HOUSE UNTIL THE FIRE IS OUT!
I know!

Without the Warriors the Engineers would not be free to do what they do...

In the end the Engineers gets the so called glory while the Warriors loose their lives or come back with all the scars no glory to that~~~~

The two should never be compared there is no comparison of what the Warriors give up for those that create inventions.
