Certainly I would not expect God to do such a thing as bend the rules for me. I would, however, expect him to keep me alive until my purpose has been served (which going to war it is not, and never has been - it has been, is, and always will be to live in the likeness of my Creator). You would not find me in a tank at war. You would not find me in a rocket's path. The Lord's protection comes from keeping His Law, not from arrogance expressed in delusional expectations of God. That is, expecting him to break the laws all the material world holds to in order to nullify the consequences of my actions. Walking away from the Law is walking into the mouth of Destruction.
