Well at least he isn't active duty, but he definitely toes a line even then. He used the completely unpopular, not following their role according to God, argument... One that most Christians don't believe was the intent.

(Judges 4:17-24, 5:24-27) Deborah gave the Israelites victory against the iron chariots of Sisera; (Judges 4:17-24, 5:24-27) Jael's story is similar to the story of David and Goliath. Though she was a weak woman, Jael triumphed over a seemingly invincible warrior, Sisera and killed him driving a tent peg through his skull. - straight out of the Bible
