Accuracy

The Marine Corps teaches its recruits to pride themselves in the ethos of “one shot – one kill.” This is nothing new. The Israeli army has long held to this kind of culture.

• Judges 20:16 HCSB There were 700 choice men who were left-handed among all these people; all could sling a stone at a hair and not miss.

Every great military that made a difference on the historical scene emphasized accuracy.

• Jeremiah 50:9 HCSB For I will soon stir up and bring against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country. They will line up in battle formation against her; from there she will be captured. Their arrows will be like those of a skilled warrior who does not return empty-handed.
