Warriors cannot be respectors of persons. Just because a person has status, wealth, authority, or power does not mean a warrior has to stand with them. On the contrary, warriors stand with the weak, the helpless, the powerless, and those who society considers as less than dirt.
As Robert Burns said, "the rank is but the guinea's stamp, the man's the gold for all that."
Honest Work:
Honest hands and honest work
No labour too low to shirk
Hands marked with grime and dry from dust
These hands are what their family trust
With honest work in time of peace
We earn and save and help the least
But if ye think these worn hands weak
Unskilled from the years at peace
These fingers strong still grasp a blade
My family's lives are mine to save
Honest work or honest fights
Ever ready, I know my rights.

I saw a string of posts today that concerned me. I understand hatred of the Rothschilds and other deep-state controlling individuals. However, Why make that they are "jews" the second most prominent thing?
It is easy to hate on Jews. Satan wants to destroy all the children of Jacob/Israel and he'll use his people to claim to be descendants of God's people to create the hatred necessary to destroy the innocent who obey the Old Testament.
In Israel, speaking to survivors of the Holocaust, they fear the rise of anti-semitism and violence around the world that memes/posts like these encourage and justify. The question of these survivors is - if WWII happens again, what will Christians do?
As warriors, can we delineate between our enemy and their pretexts and claimed belief systems aiming to cause hatred and destruction of the innocent, and those who in truth and righteousness practice real Judaism, who obey Torah, and love doing acts of righteousness to help people?
Can we delineate between souls that practice darkness, and those that do not - even if they claim the same "religion?"
I've talked to some people who claim that learning a self-defense art will cause someone to become more violent. In one of my training classes, my instructor shared the story of a student who saw an altercation forming and avoided getting involved with it. "I knew I could handle myself, but I also know how much it hurts to get punched!"
One of the challenges of self defense is, if a situation arises, realizing when it's safer to get out vs. fight. Basically, if you can get out of the situation, do so, unless someone (your child for example) needs you to get them out first. You cannot abandon family for your own safety when you are a warrior. Family, then friends and then yourself.
