Note that in Fantasy Lands the concept of reform or rehabilitation is unknown. All allies, minions, vassals and instruments of the Enemy must be summarily killed even if they served their master primarily out of fear.
Not true in Tolkien. I believe I am correct in saying that Theoden was willing to be merciful to the men who had fought for Saruman.
