There is a story I heard in Rav Reismans shiur on more then one occasion.
It involves bachrum who came to complain to Rav Baruch ber about a skit made by haskalah students. Long story short, Its a jewish army and the questions begin “whoever just built a house leave” etc. In the end, only the chafetz chaim and rav chaim ozer are left. As the goyim approach the chafetz cahim says “you are the gadol hador you should be mechabid with the first shot” Rav Ozer responds “chas v’shalom, you are a kohen” and the curtain comes down as the goyim get really close.
rav Baruch responded, “whats to complain, that is how it will be!!”
thats a halachic army, one that runs on miracles and not koach vatzum yadi
