God has an army not because he needs one, but because he wants one. The Creator who speaks and it is so, does not need subordinates doing his bidding. However, it is quite apparent that He chooses to do so.
God has an army because God chooses to delegate His authority to others who carry out His will. Angels (Heb. Messengers) do not so much take information to God, as they take messages from God to the principalities and powers throughout the universe and to earth. They learn that way.
Jesus, as King of the Jews, had servants that He could call upon to fight for him, even as he appeared before Pilate. The purpose of that fighting would not be to protect Jesus, but to go on the offensive and create the Kingdom of God, then and there! It was not in God’s plan at that time for Jesus to do so,
God’s army exists—temporarily—to fulfill His will.

I think that God does not necessarily need an army i think that he wants to save more people
rather than have them be on the wrong side and disobeying him! He basically wants us to live life the right way and not the wrong. We need to all be for God's army and do what is right!

Christ has no body now on earth but ours,
No hands but ours,
No feet but ours,
We are the eyes through which christs compassion
is to look out on the world,
Ours are the feet with which he is to go about doing good,
and ours are the hands with which he is to bless now
We must Do Gods will on Earth!

He don't.
Plus I bet he's probably quite annoyed at the people taking his name and using it to justify the deaths of others.

He doesn't, yet he has one. It is a way to serve God. The angels want to serve him, so he allows them to fight for him.
