Again, there's lots to be inferred here. If I look at the quote as it is, it's about praying. But let's remove the word pray and use the word participate for the rest of the example I will use.
If the troops do not find him an acceptable leader because he won't participate in the social constructs that are important to them, then how effective would he be as a leader?
This means from the simplest participations of breaking beer, bread, football, joking, whore hunting, fraternizing, whatever the construct is for bonding the group.
