Mormon ended his first career leading the Nephites with two great victories. His people then got full of pride at their success while completely ignoring that their success came because they had been preparing for those attacks for ten years before the victory. Ten years of being led by a man who had learned the lesson of captain Moroni that they must always be preparing and innovating to stay ahead of their enemies. By attaching the Lamanites they would be giving up every advantage that made their success possible.
