Soldiers are merchant-caste members playing at being warriors. To kill someone, they first have to dehumanize and demonize them.
Warriors fully empathize with their opponent, and then kill them anyway.
Indeed the most empathic warrior wins. The empathetic warrior knows what their opponent is going to do, while the colloquially ruthless ""warrior"" is consistently blindsided by their inability to see beyond their own callousness.

Failcomment system seems to have been fixed. Working for me, at least.
Captchas should be off. If it gives you one anyway, it's against my explicit instructions.
