What are some writers that one would call "warrior-philosophers"?

Tricky question. Many writers were warriors or soldiers, but were they warrior philosophers ? Think Godefroy de Hardouin. One of the first writers of early French and one of the generals behind the sacking of Constantinople in 1204, but hardly a philosopher.

Would you call Cervantes a warrior-philosopher for instance ?

In this case Cervantes, Dante, La Rochefoucauld, De Retz, any world war veteran (including Remarque, Céline, Bernanos, Hemingway, heck even Hitler) could be considered warrior-philosophers to some extent.

I don't mean to start a fight but this somehow sounds unsatisfying.
