Miyamoto Musashi,
Maybe you know more than I regarding those who were tested, did they proclaim themselves warriors? Maybe they did, I don't know. We would be lucky as a nation to be a nation of warriors. Some are but most are not. My point being that we as a nation could consider ourselves lucky if a good portion of the populace was familiar with at least one type of rifle.

I like martial quotes as well, thanks for the Musashi one !

"Of every One-Hundred men, Ten shouldn't even be there,
Eighty are nothing but targets,
Nine are real fighters...
We are lucky to have them...They make the battle,
Ah but the One, One of them is a Warrior...and He will bring the others
back."
