What explains the attitude of the General in the matter of the enemy soldier? Was it human consideration, lack of national loyalty, dereliction of duty or simply self-absorption?
The whole scenario shows that the general was in self absorption and also he was a patient of Dr. Sadao and he thought that the Dr. Sadao was executed for treachery. He promised Dr. Sadao that he will send his assassins and kill the enemy in his sleep but he forgot to send his assassins. And it was not at all a human consideration.
