    I’ve thought about this a lot. Not this specific thing, but Klingon culture generally.

    Like their culture is all about death in battle and glory and honor… so sure maybe they don’t have doctors (those redundant organs help a lot) but what about farmers and cooks? What about builders, bankers, literally anything other than warriors which are necessary for a society to function?

    If nothing but death in battle is worthwhile to pursue, how does their society not entirely collapse? Or is the focus on battle a newer shift on their society, now that they have access to other societies to do the grunt work?

      This might be a history misconception I’m spreading, but what if it is like Sparta, where there was a huge slave population upholding that martial society?
