No matter how you slice it, it's a cutthroat business.
The hard part is to stay a head above the rest.

Chain saws are readily available and require very little training.

A shortage of swordsman? WTF?

I guess my question then would be why?

It would be interesting to me to find out what characteristics define a "good swordsman".

I would guess that he would possibly have to be a large person..and have good aim. The rest, it seems to me would be up to the sword..is it heavy, and sharp, and fit for the particualar job at hand.

Maybe a swordsman would have to be kind of a mathematician, being able to calculate in his/her head the exact amount of speed the sword must be traveling to complete the given job.

Maybe the job of swordsman is so horrible that nobody in his right mind would do it, and maybe there's not that many lunatics in S arabia?////naaaahhhhh, can't be since everybody is a muzzie, and muzzies are notorious lunatics...so that can't be it.

There is something else causing the shortage..

..maybe we here at FR can come up with a solution to the problem of swordsman shortage in Saudi Arabia:
