Warriors are not what you think of as warriors.
The warrior is not someone who fights, because no one has the right to take another life.
The warrior, for us, is one who sacrifices himself for the good of others.
His task is to take care of the elderly, the defenseless those who cannot provide for themselves, and above all the children, future of humanity.

I love this. To me this says, when the war inside is over, it has to end on the outside. The glorification of fighting (especially, "fighting the good fight"), righteous war, enemies, etc., are just misunderstandings of language which have perpetuated violence.
