It enabled the forces of the United States and its allies to pound the peewadding out of Iraq in the Gulf War and Yugoslavia in the Kosovar hostilities without suffering major casualties. Technology in the form of code breaking capability was a big deal in World War II, although mass industrial production, secure resource bases, and logistics were also critical. If God were Universal Mind and the will of God supreme, then the winner of wars might be the sum of individual commitments. The superior commitment, in terms of the totally committed North versus the wishy-washy commitment of some of those in the South and in the United States, may have been decisive. If Universal Mind includes all knowledge, then greater military, industrial, and logistical skills could be attributed to God as well.
Morality can be practical on the battlefield.
Battlefield performance is a function of discipline, teamwork, initiative, motivation and other personal characteristics as well as training and weapons. Trust and faith and honesty are invaluable in promoting individual and group confidence. While fear has been shown to be a more consistent motivator than love, love is the more powerful motivator. Sacrifice for one's teammates, one's unit, and one's country comes easier when driven by love, trust, faith, and honesty. Willing employees are more productive than slaves.
