Re-instating the Male's Warrior energy

The male principle needs to be re-established in western society, if we are to fight crime, terrorism and other ills successfully. Also so that men can be happy.... too many men are out of sync with their male archetype, not allowing themselves to be all they can be.
And so that women can be happy as well.... which woman is not attracted, openly or not to the warrior energy in a man?

You can be sure that Islamic terrorists are in contact with the shadow side of the warrior: destructive, perverse, nihilistic, misogynistic. So in the absence of warriors fighting for the good of civilization, they will succeed.
Thankfully, we have the US, which is openly a warrior nation, much to the chagrin of Europeans, academics and others who would prefer to raise the white flag to any form of fascism than to risk themselves in the dirty and dangerous business of actual fighting. Note that intellectuals have in the past, fought in the armed forces: such as George Orwell, who fought in the Spanish Civil war in the 30s. Or the Harvard graduates who volunteered for the 101st airborne (WWII).

as OneCosmos blogger says (don't feel I'm aiming at greenies, I'm just trying to re-instate the soldier/warrior) :

In the absence of the male principle, you end up with Time Magazine conflating masculine heroism with idiot compassion for mother earth, so that feminized men may imagine that they are actually brave heroes:

Time Fights Carbon Emissions; Military Fights Evil.

It is much easier to fight global warming than to fight human evil. You will be celebrated at Time, Newsweek, The New York Times, the BBC and throughout the media world, no one will threaten your life, there are huge grants available to scientists and others who fight real or exaggerated environmental problems, and you may even receive an Academy Award and the Nobel Peace Prize. Individuals who fight Islamists get fatwas."The Time cover is cheap heroism. It is a liberal attempt to depict as equally heroic those who fight carbon emissions and those who fought Japanese fascists and Nazis.
