Fighting the Good Fight

Fighting the Good Fight

There are many silver linings worth mentioning in this Pandemic. And that is not to belittle or underestimate the devastation and loss of life. Without becoming overly prophetic, the recruitment of military leadership to assist fighting back the damage, seems to be something out the Bible.

As it says in the Prophet Isaiah: “….and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.” 

I’ll speak for the non-medical initiatives coming out of the US Dept. of Defense because that’s what I know.

The US Air Force, lead by AF Ventures, is pushing hard on their Unite and Fight program, seeking solutions for preventing the spread, keeping businesses in business, and that promote the welfare of citizens.

The Army is pushing for 3D printing initiatives to assist with gear to protect the spread, field hospital related technologies, telecommunications solutions, and this list goes on and on.

And the Dept. of Homeland Security is also calling for solutions to the effects of the Pandemic.

By making these key investments to fight the fight, the defense sector is making a double impact. They are fighting the pandemic and it's effects. And they are investing in businesses money in a slowed economy.

The role of the defense sector is to defend the countries citizens. And that’s precisely what they are doing. Though we haven’t reached the days of Isaiah’s prophecy (yet), we may be getting close.

Keep up the good work in the meantime.
