Yeah, but both the historically military role of thain and the resistance were defensive in nature. Unlike the very civilised elves, gondorians, rohirim etc. hobbits never waged wars of conquest or subjugation. At least as far as the transmitted history goes. Hell, Aragorn spends most of his reign conquering.
