Obviously Pedro will make final calls, but I'm not sure if #1 is a wasted talent, Weapon Training becomes Weapon Mastery and continues up the Tiers. Sure you can't use it right away, but it's not wasted as you'll get to use it.
I assume "Wasted" talents are duplicate talents that have no alternative. At least with all Weapon Training, you either get to pick another Weapon for it, or take the next tier of Weapon Mastery. Neither is a 'waste'.
As for #2, Martial is your starting nation, but Mercenary can be "any" nation. Again I don't see this as a wasted talent since you get light armor you don't already have.
