It means, "True warriors come in many forms."
I play a Star-Trek-based game called TNG TrekMUSE. On TNG, I am a femals
Klingon Scoutship Captain. Sometimes, I interact with our Diplomats.
Some people in our Empire scorn Diplomats, saying they are cowardly, and
weak--always making peace!
*I* value them, as those most often persecuted are often the strongest
warriors of us all... not to mention, they ensure that we are never fighting
on more than one front--an important tactical consideration!
That's what *I* think this poem is trying to teach!
