What People are against Pete Hegseth to become Secretary of Defense?

How has any of biden's picks helped defend us against our enemies? They haven't, and they all will soon be
out of those positions for good. What a disgrace this entire biden admin has been. Hegseth is da MAN!

Oh, oh, already with the whatabout Biden, which offers nothing to invalidate my comments
 
Libhater said:
I'll correct you on that one. Hegseth said he doesn't want women in combat roles. Would you be supportive
of women in combat roles (even pregnant women), and if we were to ever get a draft again, would to be
supportive of the idea of drafting women into our army?

He changed his position to get more Reds backing him. He does not think women belong in combat. That position would hurt his chances, so he lied,

So why did the army reduce it's physical standards to allow more women to pass them?

Army approves reduced physical fitness standards for women, older soldiers​


The decision follows a RAND-led study that found men were more easily passing the new, more difficult Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) compared to women and older soldiers, who were “failing at noticeably higher rates.” That six-event test developed in 2019 was an expansion from the three events — pushups, situps and a run — soldiers had done prior.

Women were failing the ACFT at noticeably higher rates so the Army reduced the physical standards required to pass the test. THAT IS A FACT.

I knew you wouldn't read it.

"As long as they qualify and meet the standards, women will now be able to contribute to our mission in ways they could not before," Carter said during a news conference in 2015. "They'll be allowed to drive tanks, fire mortars and lead infantry soldiers into combat."

In 2022, the Army lowered general physical standards for women and older troops — female and male — but that only applies to the annual physical fitness exam.

The Army and all of the branches still require women to pass strict fitness tests if they want to take on the most physically challenging specialty jobs, like an Army Ranger or Green Beret.

While only a small number of women have been able to meet the rigorous physical requirements to join those elite ranks, there are now thousands of women serving in positions that were male-only until nine years ago.

 
It is like fire fighting. I want to know the firefight that comes into my house is strong enough to drag my 220 lb body out of a burning house before I get burned up. I don't care if women drive trucks or fly jets. But I'd rather have a guy fighting next to me that could carry me off a battlefield with the help of a soldier of equal strength.

So you can be unfit as long as it is only a ACFT. :rofl2: THINK! As I said I don't care if women drive trucks tanks or fly jets. Combat infantry they need to be stronger. Hegseth is of the same opinion.
