Why are soldiers more important than teachers?

Answer 1

In my opinion they are equal and here's why I see it this way - The teacher educates the children so later in the child's life they can contribute to society and perhaps to even become a soldier. The soldier's job is to put his life on the line to defend those teachers and children [amongst the other people of their nation] so they can actually live to educate and have those children grow up and so on...

Answer 2

It is not clear that soldiers are more important than teachers, although I could argue that they are, if I wanted to. If an enemy nation is able to invade and take over your own nation, they will then be free to do anything they want, which might include closing all the schools, in which case the teachers will be useless. A nation that cannot defend itself has nothing. On the other hand, even soldiers have to be educated. Modern warfare depends upon complicated weapons systems which cannot be operated successfully by people who have no education, and which furthermore could not have been built in the first place by people who have no education. It is above all military technology which makes for powerful nations, not sheer numbers of troops, and technology depends upon an educated population, and that requires teachers. One nuclear bomb can do more damage than a vast army of ignorant and badly armed soldiers.

In the end, we cannot really compare the importance of soldiers and teachers; both have a vital role in the survival and success of any nation.
