Writers using this trope tend to think of the \\\"warrior,\\\" the lone fighter whose final authorities are his own goals and his own conscience, as superior to the \\\"soldier\\\", who obeys orders and does what his superiors say.

\'\'By and large this trope is an example of DidNotDoResearch. Writers habitually don\'t appreciate that militaries are elaborate fighting machines that need to be operating at peak efficiency as a matter of life an death. This means everything from figuring out how to deploy forces quickly to figuring out what firing pattern is going to have maximum effect to constructing elaborate 3-dimensional maneuvers using wide array of equipment. This is why most countries have military academies. On top of that, any successful military cultures usually requires most people to be tactfully know when to make critiques and when to hold their tongues. When you think about it, it really makes sense that etiquette driven cultures that historically prevailed in France, Prussia and the Antebellum South produced some of the most celebrated armies in history. By contrast, the honor bound troglodytes portrayed in fiction would most likely be slaughtered en mass in the face of an army with a reasonably well trained officer corps. Consider it a deconstruction if the honor bound troglodytes actually are slaughtered.
