Book of Mormon: War Chapters


Captain Moroni and Mormon were top generals over their nations armed forces.  If the Book of Mormon is true, I would expect the Book of Mormon would contain some "secret knowledge" about warfare that Joseph Smith, the translator, didn't even realize was in the Book. 

When it comes to conflict. there are different levels of warfare.  Casting arrows and throwing stones is only the tip of the pyramid:

Tactics
Strategy/Technology
Logistics
Policy/Politics
Economy
Demographics
Values/Idealogy 

It is fascinating how Captain Moroni and Mormon address each of these aspects of warfare in their description of their conflicts. 

A nation can employ the best tactics, stratedy, technology and logistics, but if we forget about demographics and values, we can win all the battles and still lose the war.
