In the comments on Alma 43:26–28, it was suggested that Mormon was more interested in the people involved in the wars than in the wars themselves. In these three verses we see the nature of Mormon’s interest in, and admiration for, Chief Captain Moroni. These three verses are not part of the story, they are simply Mormon’s expression of admiration for Moroni’s character. Doubtless, when Mormon named his own son after Chief Captain Moroni, he was hoping that these qualities would also manifest in his son, Moroni.
