@krispy Strong people getting used as tools for war just because they have no other choice since their Kingdom is forcing them into war. They can't even retire properly since the Kingdom would place them on a watch list so they can't ever leave for a different country, and learning another trade besides fighting would take them years to even master the basics.
So unless the soldiers are loyal and patriotic to their respective kingdoms, the strong ones who are forced due to circumstances are indeed pitiable.
