Sarah Palin has not asked the military to put women anywhere. As for having any fears about a woman commander-in-chief, Deborah was asked to help lead the Israelite army by the very man who was supposed to lead the army. They defeated the enemy and just as Deborah predicted, God gave the victory into the hands of a woman.
If your fear of Palin is due to some misplaced fear of a woman leading the military, I can only say I would rather have the military led by a godly woman, than any number of atheistic, agnostic, apostate, Islamic, or pagan men. Again, God works in mysterious ways. I am not one to question Him.
Again I say Deborah was a woman whom God chose to counsel Israel and men who were normally chosen to do that job were ignored by God. Read Judges 4 and 5. I hope that you don’t hang on so tight to the counsels of men that you ignore God’s ability to work.
38And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:
39But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
Acts 5:38, 39
Do you think Deborah participated in beauty contests?
