there is no war that is won solely by bravery. technology always wins wars for people. however it must go hand in hand with bravery.
the technological advantage that was available in the sword days was the strength and lightness of the sword. the arab's scimitar was a fine example of that. although the media popularizes the katana, the scimitar and its descendant the indian talwar were much finer techonological advantages over the european double-edged sword, the heavy broadsword and the french breakable cutlass.
also arab horses are the finest in the world. therefore the cavalry had a "technological advantage" in that area because faster stronger horses were available to the arabs.
nowadays definition of techonology has changed but the rule remains the same, in order to have might like the US, nations need technology as well as bravery.
the afghans have all the bravery in the world but dearly lack in technology. thus apache AH-64 are able to hit-and-run often without ever setting foot on the ground.
on the other end of the spectrum, the french have very good special unit commandos and cutting edge technology. but their main army lacks bravery. this has resulted in them being overrun twice in the two world wars. also it led to the french defeat in the Algerian war.
thus in order to win, a nation needs to keep its bravery alongside technological inventions. the bravery comes from reading and believing in the Quran. the technological edge comes from good funding of education which nurtures future intellect minds that can come handy in the next era.
