He is describing cases involving offense or insult.

   Why does the enemy back-hand slap with his right hand?

   • @john-martin Keep in mind for the enemy, when he back-hand slaps with his right hand, from a cultural viewpoint, it suggests that the enemy is in a superior position to the victim. Just imagine the posture or positioning. If you purposely show your left cheek, it is less convenient for the enemy to back-hand slap with his right hand.
