@Kev:

A soldier doesn't automatically go to war once they sign up for the army. They need to train and learn proper techniques first. Then, after they are deemed skilled enough, they are sent to war and further progress their skills because they now have real life experience.

I agree that somebody needs to be in an actual fight to learn it, however, you can't start off that way. You need to learn the fundamentals, practice with the people you're training with, and then have real life practice.

Corey really did suck in the battle with Parrish and he pulled his arm because he didn't know what to do. He lacked so much experience. He was so vulernable. Malia had to waste her energy trying to help him. He was just an inconvenience. He shouldn't have been fighting until he learned the fundamentals and techniques first.
