Honestly I don't really have any better ideas lately so here's a random thing.

Since when did satan have 'the military' and what do you mean by 'the military'? I'm assuming you mean the us military

As someone who was in ROTC and regretted joining(I only joined for dodge ball), I'd say he means like the robot type way.
Basically the ROTC moves in a weird way that robots will walk like one day.
The ROTC have to listen to orders like how robots just do orders cause they have to.
I tried to avoid a thing then I saw em so I ran(When I was in the ROTC) and they called me back and suddenly I just walked back, like I was being controlled cause the main point of me running was to avoid them.

Left side:
Already won

Right side:
Already lost and sour about it

That's why their gonna try and drag some or most of us down with them.
