Bring Back the Warrior Poet

"The society that separates its scholars from its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting done by fools." So said Sir William F. Butler, according to the meme sent to me yesterday by my neighbor JP Chavez. This quote is also attributed more anciently to Thucydides, the ancient Greek philosopher (460BC-395BC). And we know that this sentiment is true and universal, regardless who said it first or best.
