So it's always a small top branch? Everyone else, the society is just a bunch of ants, following daily needs, sticks and carrots, herded like sheep by the Big Guys, so they can't do much at all?
This is just the narrative They want you to believe, the most comfortable for all. But in reality there can't be wars if there are no soldiers.
The “they” here disclaims the responsibility of the soldiers (despite the rest of your post advocating that responsibility). The problem is inside us.
This is what I meant. The comfortable truth would be the other way around.
