  "The sacrifices of the Lord are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, o God, thou will not despise." Psalms 51:17 "The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit." Psalms 34:18 "For thus saith the High and lofty one that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones." Isaiah 57:15 "… but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word." Isaiah 66:2b One of the things that the Lord hates, that He cannot stand, that is an abomination unto Him is a proud mind, a haughty spirit, an arrogant heart that exalts itself above God.

Crazy and totally unbelievable, right? I can bet you my entire fortune, except that soldier has an invisible shield or force-field that surrounds him or a fellow soldier is kind enough to quickly wake him, he would end up dead or grotesquely injured before a minute passes by.
