Physical weakness easily turns into decisive factor between dueling combatants, but it is equally important to be emotionally prepared for war. The soldiers who show mercy to the enemy may be revered by their beneficial gods, but not by their commanders. Honourable traits, such as compassion and forgiveness, are traits that belong to a priest rather than a warrior. Inability to withstand emotional pressure is as crucial weakness as is inability to wield a sword. Those who make the mistake of trusting the enemy regardless of how sincere their intentions might seem are always putting their own life on the line. And those who know how to feign remorse often take advantage of it - with deadly consequences.
