Abstract

Shannon E. French discusses the code of warriors with exploring the warrior values in the past and present. He thinks that the essential element of a warrior's code is that it must set definite limits on what warriors can and cannot do if they want to continue to be regarded as warriors and not murderers or cowards. For the warrior who has such a code, certain actions remain unthinkable, even in the most dire or extreme circumstances. He stresses that once the thin line between warrior and murderer is crossed, the harm to the individual who crossed it may be severe.
