Not to do with any warfare, but "turning the other cheek" has an entirely different meaning. Back in roman days, if you slapped someone with back of your hand, it is supposed to demean and insult someone, so when Christ said turn the other cheek, it was expecting a slap of front of a hand. It was just a matter of self respect and dignity expected of slaves and others when they faced romans. That is all there to it.
