I suspect you have some sound points.

One theologic perspective faithfully accepts that there is a reason for all things. Perhaps not in our local domain, but maybe for the view of the angelic.

If I study the ressurrection and the rapture, along with a release of an army of demons from below the Euphrates, then I observe a general SciFi theme that is now accepted as commonplace, that touches upon the 'living dead', zombies, hostile aliens, it would appear that these thought inducing films, although rather innocuous, might actually be placing seeds of thoughts in minds to prepare for Scripturally prophesized events. If so, I suspect their origin might be steeped more in malevolent deception or demonic influence, than upon conspiracy.

It is interesting that Command and Staff College today places much more emphasis upon the fog of war than other aspects of strategic and tactical thinking.

If righteous leadership identified domestic enemies within, blending into a hodgepodge of domestic culture, even to the point of migrating amongst one's peers, and wanted to develop their junior officers to be prepared for unforeseen threats by that insufficiently opposed threat, I know of no better way than to teach all officers about the Fog of War. Then allow those who are also righteous to identify the situation as it evolves.

I see it as one and the same. If you think about it, the plans and strategies of demonic opposition are a conspiracy, if you define it as an unseen plot to accomplish a certain goal. That's interesting about the Fog of War. Are you saying that in military school, the 'big picture' view is emphasized, and each individual is expected to gravitate to their role, after which the tactical naturally follows? Please expand that idea, and how it relates to the spiritual.
