(if short on time, PLEASE jump right to the comments to these posts---far more interesting frankly--if only because initial posts can't cover the endless nuances of such things; also, I lifted the WSSSN title from a comment to first post) Seems to me that warriors must do battle with Loneliness from time to time.
