Editing Aztec warfare (section)

===Men's life outside warfare===
Boys started training for warfare at an early age. It was the boys' religious responsibility to train and fight for their people.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Pennock |first=Caroline Dodds |date=2023-01-01 |title=A warlike culture?

Warriors would be drafted through a tequital, a payment of goods and labor enforced by the government. When not engaged in battle, many warriors were farmers and tradesmen, learning their trade from their fathers. Warriors were married by their early twenties and were a vital part of Aztec daily life.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Clendinnen |first1=Inga |title=The Cost of Courage in Aztec Society |journal=Past & Present |date=1985 |issue=107 |pages=44–89 |doi=10.1093/past/107.1.44 |jstor=650706 |url=http://www.jstor.org/stable/650706 |issn=0031-2746|url-access=subscription }}</ref> While most warriors began as lower-class citizens, being a warrior did present a way to move up in Aztec society. If they were successful as a warrior, they would be presented with gifts and recognized publicly for their accomplishments in battle. If they reached the rank of Eagle or Jaguar warrior, they would be considered nobles. Especially in the latter case, the prized warrior would become a full-time soldier working for the city-state to protect merchants and the city itself.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Pennock |first=Caroline Dodds |date=2023-01-01 |title=A warlike culture?
