Describing God as a "Man of War" - Good, Bad or Neutral?

We saw that in Shirat Ha-Yam (the Song of the Sea), which is recited daily during Shacharit, God is described as a "Man of War" (Ish Milhamah).  

How do you relate to this description in the prayer book?  Do you agree with it?  Do you find it inspiring?  Does it bother you?
