		Unlike the British Army, the Zulu army was not a professional institution, but rather an armed citizenry.
		Most warriors remained unmarried until their thirties, and marriage signalled the point at which they transferred their first allegiance from the king to their own families.
		This artificial prolongation of bachelorhood had nothing to do with channelling sexual frustration into military aggression, as the British claimed; it was simply a means of maximising the period of military service, and in any case Zulu moral codes allowed for limited sexual activity outside marriage.
