Consider Biblical Principles
Conscription of women into armed services is anti-Biblical. It is against God’s word. See Numbers 1:1-3, 20. Christian women are not to serve in battle; not to be drafted, not to enlist. According to The Bible, armies are to be composed of men, only. As Matthew Henry commented: “None were to be numbered but the males, and those only such as were fit for war.”
See also Deuteronomy, chapter 20. God’s reference to military conscription in time of war (His rules for deferments, exclusions, exemptions, etc.) apply to men 20 years or older, only. (Each of the exemptions or deferments deal with the preservation of the family.) Women are to remain at home front, care for children, maintain the family unit, engage in homefront support duties. “The family has priority over the military and over warfare. As important as defense is, the continuity of life and godly reconstruction is more important,” emphasizes Rev. Joseph C. Morecraft, III.
And, nations that disregard and violate God’s word will be penalized.

For 230 some years, the nation’s military has maintained that only men can serve on the front lines in times of war. Now Obama’s Secretary of Defense may soon announce that he will reverse that long standing policy and allow America’s women to join her men in combat.
Reports came today that Leon Panetta will soon remove the long standing ban on women in combat.
Oddly, the new rule seems to be saying that woman can request combat roles. It doesn’t seem as if the change will allow commanders to order individual women into combat.
One wonders how this can be fair? If women can refuse to join the front lines, why are men refused that option?
Dan Foster over at NRO has pinpointed well what must be the next logical step for the Obama administration. If women are to be allowed in combat, why should they be excused wholesale from registering for Selective Service? Shouldn’t Obama reverse that rule, too?
Of course, we’ve already had many women killed in combat and not just in recent actions. But in the past women were killed in battle only by accident, as it were. Women were in support roles, not in combat roles.
Currently, women comprise 14 percent of the 1.4 million active military personnel.
