On Purim, we were threatened with annihilation. Did we make a SJDF(Shushan Jewish Defense Force)?
No. We davened, and did teshuva, and the gezerah was batul. That’s the lesson of Purim, to recognize the source of our tzaros.

You are only half right.
After the gezerah was botul there WAS a SJDF in shushan – and in the other cities.
Who fought the amalekim ? For one day / for two days ?
On what day was the Yomtov of Purim proclaimed ? On the day the King changed his decree ,or
on the day the SJDF finished its work ?
The miracle was only complete after the SJDF acted.
