Thank you my friend Sgt (Join to see) for posting the satirical post from the babylonbee.com. In many western nations this may be occurring.
During WWII many European, African and Asian women served in various ways to inflict death and destruction on the Axis forces. More recently, Kurdish women have fought against ISIS and Ukrainian women have worked to fight against Russian and eastern Ukrainian breakaway supporters.
Yet the tradition of women as fighters and saboteurs is millennia old dating back to Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, luring Sisera to his death in Judges 4:17-22 ESV 'But Sisera fled away on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite. And Jael came out to meet Sisera and said to him, “Turn aside, my lord; turn aside to me; do not be afraid.” So he turned aside to her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug. And he said to her, “Please give me a little water to drink, for I am thirsty.” So she opened a skin of milk and gave him a drink and covered him. And he said to her, “Stand at the opening of the tent, and if any man comes and asks you, ‘Is anyone here?’ say, ‘No.’” But Jael the wife of Heber took a tent peg, and took a hammer in her hand. Then she went softly to him and drove the peg into his temple until it went down into the ground while he was lying fast asleep from weariness. So he died. And behold, as Barak was pursuing Sisera, Jael went out to meet him and said to him, “Come, and I will show you the man whom you are seeking.” So he went in to her tent, and there lay Sisera dead, with the tent peg in his temple.'

THE SONG OF DEBORAH
"Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam." (Judges 5, 12)

Yes, I saw this one yesterday! The Babylon Bee is hilarious!

I've always loved my traditional role after getting out of the military. You can be awesome at many different things, just not all at the same time.

SGT Tiffanie G. My first wife LOVED being a wife and mother. She helped put me through college, so after I got my first job after college, I "retired" her from having to work outside the home. The more kids around her, the better she liked it. We had four kids, and she did daycare for others.

Awesome! I homeschooled our 5 kids and never regretted it. Now, I'm an author and artist and I've done other "in home" work from time to time, but it's always as I want to develop myself, not because I have to. Taking care of my hubby is my number one. And he takes care of me.

SGT Tiffanie G. Wonderful testimony you have, to support Moms/ women being productive and valuable in their homes. Thirty years ago, I also was also a homeschool Mom (my 3 and foster kids) and we “worked the land”- raising chickens and turkeys for meat, organic gardening, canning. I taught them how to take care of a home, prepare meals, store food, manage money, etc. They don’t regret it to this day.
