The giddy endorsement by Evangelical leaders of a mother of young children including an infant to position herself as commander-in-chief of the United States Military is a de facto concession by these leaders that our eighteen-year-old daughters can be sent to the front lines of combat to die like men.

If it is right, just, biblical, and desirable for a mother of young children to lead the strongest military operation in the world, then by the same logic it is acceptable to send our daughters to the front lines of combat. Should a draft be acceptable and desirable to the politicians in Washington, it will also be appropriate and necessary to draft our daughters.

By abandoning biblical role distinctions and qualifications for leadership, our Christian leaders will have no biblical leg to stand on when the government comes to draft their daughters and yours for the latest internationalist effort to advance Democracy.

Those who attempt to draw flimsy distinctions between a female commander-in-chief and a female military will be laughed at into oblivion for the illogic and hypocrisy of their position.
