Thank you

As Joseph Stalin once said, "no man, no problem"

Psalm 18

For who is God besides the Lord?
    And who is the Rock except our God?
32 It is God who arms me with strength
    and keeps my way secure.
33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;
    he causes me to stand on the heights.
34 He trains my hands for battle;
    my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35 You make your saving help my shield,
    and your right hand sustains me;
    your help has made me great.
36 You provide a broad path for my feet,
    so that my ankles do not give way.

37 I pursued my enemies and overtook them;
    I did not turn back till they were destroyed.
38 I crushed them so that they could not rise;
    they fell beneath my feet.
39 You armed me with strength for battle;
    you humbled my adversaries before me.
40 You made my enemies turn their backs in flight,
    and I destroyed my foes.
41 They cried for help, but there was no one to save them—
    to the Lord, but he did not answer.
42 I beat them as fine as windblown dust;
    I trampled them[f] like mud in the streets.
43 You have delivered me from the attacks of the people;
    you have made me the head of nations.
People I did not know now serve me,
44     foreigners cower before me;
    as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.
45 They all lose heart;
    they come trembling from their strongholds.

46 The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock!
    Exalted be God my Savior!
47 He is the God who avenges me,
    who subdues nations under me,
48     who saves me from my enemies.
You exalted me above my foes;
    from a violent man you rescued me.
49 Therefore I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;
    I will sing the praises of your name.

50 He gives his king great victories;
    he shows unfailing love to his anointed,
    to David and to his descendants forever.

Psalm 18:32-50

Maybe not scripture but:

The very simple fact is that all great empires rise, fall and either stay fallen or are reborn in the fires. Democracy has failed us, given us weak leaders that pander to the pathetic whims of puppeteers behind the shadows. Our veterans, our warriors, starve and die in the streets; while invaders are given golden tickets into our halls. Our men and women take their own lives left and right, seeing no hope on the horizon. The time is coming soon when voices like mine, like Squid, Merc and the others will be labelled as dissidents and traitors. Some of us will fight, while others do what we can to bring a little light and hope to a dark time. A student of history, I have read the rise and fall of Rome again and again. I am confident enough to say that though its glory long since has faded to the annals of history. In our time we will witness the devastation of all we hold dear, or we will witness the rise of a new dawn, pioneered by great men like my friends Squid, Merc, Yan/k/ee and all the others. Follow us, believe in us.

We, Men of the West, will rise again. We will fight and restore what is rightfully ours. We will eventually fight to rebuild our freedom, and usher in a new dawn for all of us. Or we will die trying, and march upon Hades itself together and forge our kingdom there. Until the dawn, Kings and Queens, guard each other as family. You are one another's shield, be your brothers spear and sword. Be his mail shirt and the plate that guards his chest. Guard one another with as much tenacity as you would guard your own flesh and blood.

-Jaeger

“This is what the Lord says to his anointed,
    to Cyrus, whose right hand I take hold of
to subdue nations before him
    and to strip kings of their armor,
to open doors before him
    so that gates will not be shut:
2 I will go before you
    and will level the mountains[a];
I will break down gates of bronze
    and cut through bars of iron.
3 I will give you hidden treasures,
    riches stored in secret places,
so that you may know that I am the Lord,
    the God of Israel, who summons you by name.
4 For the sake of Jacob my servant,
    of Israel my chosen,
I summon you by name
    and bestow on you a title of honor,
    though you do not acknowledge me.
5 I am the Lord, and there is no other;
    apart from me there is no God.
I will strengthen you,
    though you have not acknowledged me,
6 so that from the rising of the sun
    to the place of its setting
people may know there is none besides me.
    I am the Lord, and there is no other.

Isaiah 45-16

43. To his friend a man should bear him as friend,
to him and a friend of his;
but let him beware that he be not the friend
of one who is friend to his foe.

44. Hast thou a friend whom thou trustest well,
from whom thou cravest good?
Share thy mind with him, gifts exchange with him,
fare to find him oft.

45. But hast thou one whom thou trusbut falsely think,
and leasing pay for a lie.

47. Young was I once, I walked alone,
and bewildered seemed in the way;
then I found me another and rich I thought me,
for man is the joy of man.

50. The pine tree wastes which is perched on the hill,
nor bark nor needles shelter it;
such is the man whom none doth love;
for what should he longer live?

-the Havamal

This is from a Christian perspective so bear that in mind:

Men today are often soft, weak, passive, unprotective.

But physical discipline is key for men. Hear Paul: "I batter my body and make it my slave" (1 Cor 9:27). Manhood shaped and powered by the gospel of grace is protective, sharp, watchful.

The man who is willfully soft physically is often soft spiritually. If his body is capable, he has no reason not to emulate Paul and pursue strength, toughness, and capability. As much as he humanly can, he should not let himself be weak. The man who does so physically is often doing the same spiritually. He has no structure; no standards; no direction; no goals; no sense of accomplishment; no power.

We men need to stop making excuses. We need to reject softness. We need to do hard things. We need to be first in battle and last in retreat. We need to be watchmen on the wall. We need to protect women & children. We need to fight evil. We need to bleed for the truth.

In Christ, through the Spirit's sanctifying power, young men should develop:

1) Theological discipline (know truth)

2) Spiritual discipline (Word & prayer)

3) Physical discipline (1 Cor 9:27)

4) Fiscal discipline (build vocation)

5) Social discipline (build family cf 1 Cor 7)

6) Ecclesial discipline (serve church)

This kind of disciplined man can stand in a fallen world by divine aid. This kind of disciplined man can stand against wickedness. Biblical men take hits for the truth. Who today will suffer for the gospel? Who will be persecuted for righteousness' sake? Who will endure hatred for Christ? Who will suffer injury to overthrow evil? Who will be unpopular to be faithful?

Again, who will bleed for the truth?

They will stumble repeatedly; they will fall over each other. They will say, ‘Get up, let us go back to our own people and our native lands, away from the sword of the oppressor.’

You are my war club, my weapon for battle— with you I shatter nations, with you I destroy kingdoms,
