It taps into that same 'always ready' machismo that you see in the fitness and martial arts scenes - gotta be 'always ready' to defend...someone? To deal some violence? That's poisonous and unnecessary. Our society - even with our troublesome crime rates - isn't that violent.

But it feeds into this sheep/sheepdogs/wolves metaphor that sees all other people as either helpless weaklings (to be ruled) or wolves (to be exterminated). That's not how a civil society works.
