Yep, whole thing; playing lets-pretend though to satisfy the tiny minds of his followers, strikes me as wasted energy. And, what happens when they actually have to do something?? Right now, he's going to the extent of trying not to shatter their fragile little minds with the sounds of slaughtering pigs, never mind training. Let me just state something point-blank: any special fucking snowflakes, like the retards around now, today, would not survive the apocalypse, 'kay? Or would be use by me as cannon fodder, or eloi. Or as Shane did that time; sorry bitch, I can't outrun them, but I CAN outrun YOU <BOOOM>....
Now, he's pretty rational behind the mask, but sooner or later, this scumbag Negan and his minions are going to demand more. And then what? Having only a elite few who DO know how to handle themselves is a good idea. Unfortunately, in war, you need numbers. Who aren't just cannon fodder.
We'll see.
