What does the "way of the warrior" even mean in a peacetime civilian society?

For me it means values that a certain class of people follow or think makes them such a group. A 'warrior' could be anything from a boxer to a lawyer. A group with their own values and code that dictates their conduct in society.
The way of war refers to the skills and strategies that one employs in battle. The way of war for a carpenter for example, is the way of managing his tools and resources to build houses or furniture. The way of war for a lawyer would be legal research and arguing of their case in court.
Which begs the question, what is the way of war for the modern warrior? I believe that we are focusing too much on how a modern warrior should act instead of how a modern warrior should fight.
