Makes the Spartans sound terrible. In fact as bad, if not worse than the namesake ancient Greek city.
That definition of weak though, ironically makes the Spartans weak themselves (on the inside anyway). Lacking compassion, and regard for life, however frail is weak. Lacking tolerance for said beings, also weak. Under their belief system, shouldn't they too deserve to die? After all, inner strength is more important than outer strength (although outer still has some small extent of importance).
I guess that enlightening post by Marid Audran bumps the Spartans behind the Hive, Gaians and University in my preferences as to who I'd join.
