An army that maintains its cohesion, that cannot be shaken by fears, that will not lose the strength to obey orders and its respect and trust for its leaders, that has been steeled by training and privation and effort, that is mindful of the honor of its arms – such an army is imbued with true military spirit. ~ Clausewitz Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. . . . Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. . . . Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
