I suggest that much like becoming a knight, when a Colonial becomes a Warrior, they don’t just sign some papers, take the oath and become soldiers. Instead they are ‘invested’ into the brotherhood of Warriors. The investment ceremony and oath have stronger significance to some Colonials than to others. During the ceremony, a ‘transubstantiation’ event is thought to occur, by which all Warriors indeed become of one bloodline

Yes, I like that take too.
in the Saga Of A Starworld, Apollo told a women that they will get food to them.
and when he said 'I give you my word as a warrior' she laughs in his face.

That was always a important part, warriors were looked on as old knights
worthy of respect. they become warrior through a rite of passage, oaths given
to the seals of the lords of kobol..or something?
