If everyone were a gardener no one would need a warrior

You don't know many gardeners then. Try making a single step in their cabbage patch.

If you only teach people to be warriors then they only know how to do war.

If you teach people to be warriors then they will only know how to do sandbag filling and type III wildfire fighting.

Thank god for firearms (yes, very regulated, etc, not that kind of comment), because now we don't bother with decades of practice of swordfighting, archery only to die to some noob with a machine gun and have released millions of man-hours to do better things with their time, like gardening, RnD, corporate pole climbing :)
