Resposta do falante nativo

Yes, I believe "everything you have, everything you are" is the object of this sentence. This is considered an anastrophe. An anastrophe is when the normal word order of a sentence is changed to emphasize something. I believe she is trying to emphasize that every part of you has to be given to the battlefield. The Star Wars character Yoda uses anastrophes when he speaks, and anastrophes have been used throughout popular literature, such as Hamlet and Moby Dick. Here are examples of anastrophes. Ex: The greatest teacher, failure is. Ex: Into the darkness, he drove.
