It's okay to glorify violence a bit and in the right light. I do not want to live in a pacified slave society. Martial spirit is good and noble for young men especially to engage in and it's one of those "ounce of prevention, pound of cure" type things that makes sense for everyone in the long run. What shouldn't be "glorified" is beating on people while they're down, engaging in dishonorable combat, violence undertaken for no good reason, gang violence, etc etc, but if you don't already implicitly know this then we probably shouldn't be interacting to begin with.
That said. It is 100% a calling. We did away with the draft for a good reason.

nothing wrong beating on BAD people while they're down. it happens occasionally where an asshole will go through a bad period. but you KNOW that when he's back up he'll be up to evil again. in such a situation, it is important to finish him when he is down.

Everyone agrees that in a state of nature, humans fight to rape, enslave and genocide one another. That old way of doing things isn't compatible with modern society. We are now organized in a way that makes violence really problematic
