One simple maxim still works in our favor: even the largest army in the world cannot defeat an entire nation if that nation is fighting for its existence.
Those who doubt it can read about how in the 1939–1940 years 3,7 million Finns repelled an attack by the 170-million USSR. The Soviet regime still couldn’t conquer Finland, even though it had tanks, airplanes, and forces many times larger.
However, problems arise when a nation begins to believe that its survival is not everyone’s responsibility, but only the military’s.
