I do not think that heroes should be warriors ever again. This is because war is destructive and evil. Ghandi showed that an army can be peacefully confronted, and victory can be won by peaceful means. He was by no means a warrior, but he was a hero. I think heroes are people who see real problems and find solutions- leading others to do the same. People such as Jane Goodall, Mother Theresa, and Rachel Carson.
