indeed.. but there is a difference between "cold war" and "cold warrior".

Star Trek VI is largely allegorical for the Cold War between the West and the Soviet Union. The Berlin Wall had fallen, Gorbachev had championed perestroika, and the future of the Cold War was uncertain. So, while in isolation a cold warrior might be a warrior who fights without pity or remorse, in the allegorical context of ST:VI General Chang's comment about cold warriors is meant to evoke a warrior of the Cold War.

When we say "cold warrior", I don't think that the actual meaning is
"ready to fight" ; it is rather "ready to destroy without holding back
or feeling remorse, perhaps bordering on the ruthless"

The English idiom "cold war" refers to a state of hostilities in which
no (or very little) actual fighting takes place or has yet taken
place. Thus, a "cold warrior" is indeed a warrior who is prepared to
fight.
