....I agree.

Actually, no, the Special Forces do not carry out assassinations under normal operational circumstances. That falls to intelligence agencies and Black Ops types (unless you believe Hollywood and techno-fiction). Jael was not a part of the army. Did not fight in the battle. She lured Sisera into...

Obviously, nothing. No technical term needed. I already called it what it was...an assassination - though some of the more "progressive" types call it murder. If someone is calling that act "combat" then I would say, from a professional point of view, they surely don't know what they are...

I don't understand your conflict over that I don't care about how CBMW presents it. And, by definition, that was not combat. Anyone who looks at this objectively would concede that. No. Read it again: "And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and he went up with ten thousand men at...

You are wrong and lashing out won't change that. Re-read my posts.  Maybe, to make it clear to you and others who may not clearly understand my position, I should start saying the Democrud Party. And yes, I do hate their platform because it contains and promotes pure EVIL. They declare evil...

Deborah didn't muster 10,000 men, Barak did: Jael lured Sisera into her tent and assassinated him while he slept: Webster says, "Combat - A fight or contest between individuals or groups". It is not difficult to understand. Perhaps you are holding on to a preconceived notion that you can't...

Well, I suppose that depends on how "absurd" your definition of combat is.

Whoop! You go gurl!  ;)

Precisely! Very good Izzy! And I was thinking the satire of my Youtube post would go unnoticed.  ;)

No, his desperate stretch did not go over my head. I just pointed out that it really only makes sense to those who can't think straight or those who understand logical fallacy. I'm in the latter group.

Where have I said that I hate these people? Making such emotional assertions weakens your entire statement and seems foolish - not to mention offensive. Now, to be clear, while I do not hate the people, I do hate the "platform" of the political party (that's why I say "democruds" instead of the...

Why, of course you did! And if we were discussing the gender of the recipients of said commands, it actually would have been relevant as well. And I think that is obvious to those who not only read but understand the context of these posts. :D

I do not hold to any particular label even though I realize your point. I believe I can very easily defend my position on this matter as being Biblical in regards to my "worldview". And, to be totally accurate, it is certainly not the view held by US culture. P.S. Since we are throwing the term...

Seriously? I referenced Duet. 20 to make a point that God commanded only the mustering of men for combat not women but I think that is obvious to those reading the context of the posts. However, with someone like you lurking on the FFF, I guess I have to have large, wordy disclaimers to make...

Not, it seems, as high and as long as yours but then again, one can only hope..... ::)

Get out of the men's room, Izzy!  ;D

Biblically, there are no examples of women in combat. There are no calls for women to fight in war in scripture but more than a few for men (i.e. Duet. 20). If you wish to use the "there is no commandment disallowing it" then walk down that path if you wish. I think it is a bad path seeing that...

Queue the music! Bye-bye, Miss American Pie.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEcjgJSqSRU

This is a topic I can address from first person experience and offer my take on what should be the proper Christian worldview. Just a pure military point of view, from someone who served, it is folly to place women in combat roles. From the perspective of someone who served in an elite combat...

I like it! OORAH!
