Num 32:23, But if you draft dodgers will not mobilize for war and refuse military training, behold, you have sinned against the LORD; and be sure your sin will find you out and you will lose freedom.

Winning a War as a Professional

A nation has to have real gentleman off the field of battle, however, once the war begins they must be willing to do everything possible and imaginable to win. Nothing is off limits or prohibited in war. NOT like Korea nor like Vietnam nor like the Gulf War and if there is anyone still standing up you knock them down and out and kill them until the rest surrender UNILATERALLY. The objective is to WIN and to win you kill so many of the opposition that they cannot any longer fight for any reason. This adds up to the fact that when we, as believers, serve in any military organization and are manning some weapon or weapon system designed to kill the enemy it is our responsibility to man that weapon in a cool, calm, detached, professional way and kill the enemy efficiently without emotion. If you kill thousands then you have done your job as unto the Lord that is exactly what the Lord expects from you at that time and this is the correct application of the military image of The Lord Jesus, The Christ for the Church Age, the Age of Israel, and the tribulation as well. The attitude must be KILL, KILL, KILL professionally and coolly, calmly and without emotion but effectively.

It appears today that we have again been given a reprieve from the 5th cycle of Divine Discipline, or at least we, in the Unites States of America, are experiencing “Grace before JUDGMENT”. It may be that Mr. Trump was put into office to solidify the position of liberals who oppose the proper function of the Laws of Divine Establishment and the continuation of this great nation as a client nation to God and therefore enable their destruction or that of this nation. If this is true we have a reprieve and if we have any chance to survive as a nation then we most likely will be engaged in warfare. If the population keeps on being diametrically opposite then we will have civil war at best. We, that is YOU and I, will most likely all be involved and we must learn our weapons well as part of the ministry of the Lord and use them well. NEVER NOT FOR EVEN 1 SECOND look back and be disturbed at the corpses of your enemy. It is our responsibility as a believers in The Lord Jesus, The Christ to kill the enemies of our client nation and of our God and we should be able to do it without one qualm or one second lost sleep.

A nation with a prepared military lives in peace and security. Military victory and proper military function is based on a victory of Mental Attitude. It is a myth that you must have combat experience in order to succeed in military actions. You must have the right Mental Attitude, Motivation, Maximum Metabolized Bible Doctrine and training which is effective, meaningful training. It is a true fact and proven in all of military history that COMBAT EXPERIENCE IS MEANINGLESS and it is the training, mental attitude, discipline and leadership which counts combined with high morale and esprit DE corps at the time of entering the conflict. Good leadership and discipline with great training will offset any lack of combat experience. Look at the Devil’s Brigade commanded by Robert Frederick. The American troops demonstrated in World War II that combat experience is of absolutely no consequence with regard to success in battlefield situations.

The principle of Victory and Military effort is centered around the idea that the offensive is the only military action by which a decision is gained and you must take the offensive and be aggressive in order to win. In any area of life the only way to gain is to be on the offensive and aggressive. We had no tactics for offensive warfare in the United States in 1979. The plans we have had in Germany for example in 1976 to stop the communists were defensive allowing for us to hold out for 11 days against hopeless odds. Any offensive against a superior force demands maximum courage, nerve, discipline, training, coordination and motivation and every military virtue. This applies to believers as well and in order to reach Super-Grace Maturity Adjustment to the Justice of God the believer must have maximum courage and nerve. Offensive brings victory while at best defensive can only avoid defeat. The offensive is the only effective way to conduct war and destroy enemy armies and make any opposing nation helpless. The offensive increases the effectiveness of the force adopting it, raises the morale of the troops, allows concentration of effort, allows freedom of action and is a challenge to the leadership of the force adopting it. The greatest offensive military leader in American history is Douglas MacArthur. He is the greatest example of strategic and tactical mindedness in our history and must be listed with Hannibal, Caesar, Alexander, Gustavus Adolphus, Frederick the Great and Napoleon. MacArthur saved Australia from the Japanese when the Australians were going to back down into their continent and let the Japanese have their coastline. He took almost nothing in military equipment and went all the way to Tokyo and victory in the pacific. He was almost universally despised and because he was so courageous a man, many were very jealous of him. He was always taking the offensive from New Guinea Up to Tokyo and also in Korea and if he would have been allowed he would have beaten the Chinese and North Koreans both. All orientals fear only one man and respect only one man that is MacArthur. Generals Chenot and Robert Fredrick, R. E. Lee, Johnathan Jackson, George Patrick Patton Jr. were all offensive minded men. This is why lee gave the order to attack on the 3rd day at Gettysburg and lost. The Offensive should always be used when there is any reasonable chance of success. The Offensive removes limitations to maneuver and provides flexibility of forces whereby ultimate victory is achieved. An inferior army on the offensive will ultimately defeat a superior army on the defensive. This was Napoleon’s first Italian campaign where he fought 4 Austrian armies and defeated them, and this also occurred similarly at Austerlitz. This is also the story of Diem Bein Fu in Vietnam. Genius in strategy and tactics is always related to the offensive. The defensive maneuver should ONLY be used to ASSIST OFFENSIVE ACTION ELSEWHERE, to gain time or to use good terrain or compensate for a weakness. This is why MacArthur took the defensive position at Bataan to assist offensive action elsewhere. When armies
