We do need smart people in the world - and strong ones, too - but I can't get behind the idea that violence is the way to go. My BJJ teacher, strongest guy I've ever met, always made the point that the best possible approach to fighting was to never get in a fight in the first place.
But then again, the US is not SA, and there are plenty of cultures where avoiding a fight makes you even more of a target...
