martial
IN BRIEF: Pertaining to war or military operations.
Karate is a form of martial arts in which people who have had years and years of training can, using only their hands and feet, make some of the worst movies in the history of the world.
— Dave Barry
Tutor's tip: Straight in posture and expression too, the "marshal" (often highest ranking officer) was "martial" (soldier like) in every aspect of life, even with his "marital" (referring to marriage) vows.
