Combat capability of women aside, as a society and culture, in the absence of a dire shortage of fighting-age men, we need to decide whether we really want women and mothers fighting and dying in front line combat. If the answer is, "yes," then we should require women to register for the draft, too..
"We need to decide?" I think the fewer decisions Americans make for other Americans, the better off we are. That includes deciding for a woman, whether she is to be a mother or not. An all volunteer military service with career opportunities for qualified women is all the US needs to stay safe behind two big friendly oceans and two friendly nations.
Senator from Hawaii is a clown. No problem with asking hard questions but not when you insist on talking over the person every time they respond because they didn’t fall for your elementary level gotcha trap.
How is that hypocritical when that is essentially apart of job? What the hell were they suppose to ask him? He was unable to answer simple questions about certain countries that were a part of different groups. He was not prepared and failed to do research.
I'm so sick of hearing this "thank you for your service" mantra for servicemen just doing their jobs. Why not thank the armies of first responders such as Paramedics Doctors Firefighters and Police officers who put their lives on the line every day and see things that no one should have to see and go home to their partners and families every night. The majority of the armed forces are usually in the process of preparedness should they be required to put themselves in harms way to protect the country. I don't know of any other country that has this ongoing obsequious reverence for the military, I'm Australian and we love our military but we don't fawn over them at every given opportunity such as sporting events and giving them boarding priority on aircraft. Hopefully we have learned our lesson and will not be following as we have done historically into catastrophic military ventures such as Vietnam Afghanistan and Iraq where the US got a comprehensive spanking, suffering so much unnecessary loss of life on both sides.
@@litedawgIn one corner, we have Pete Buttigieg, a wildly intelligent politician with a consistently successful history of leading his department by any modern standard, unafraid to be a guest on court-admitted false news conservative networks like Fox, where he shows objectively excellent communication skills, including respectfully waiting until his counter-debaters are done speaking, articulating his points clearly and with a robust vocabulary, and backing his debate points with verifiable facts and historical examples. In the other corner, we have people like you and the Republican Party leader, name-calling with the enthusiasm and talent of my kindergarteners.
All I hear is mud sling and women, women, women. How about asking question about what are his goals to better things. What plans are he intending on implementing. All this is are examples of why things are jack up. It’s political and not investigatory. I would say to these politicians “let he who has not sin cast the first stone”. Ask investigatory questions and not make smear statements.
How is it a smear campaign when they were quoting his exact remarks? Remarks from his book, remarks from podcasts he’s been on. They were his exact words. He doesn’t feel women should be on combat and he’s made that clear in the past, now all of a sudden he’s nominated and has chaned his stance.
So what you’re advocating is that the questioners stop reading his own words back at him to successfully smear him, and to ignore his unavoidably clear negative beliefs about 18% of the personnel he’s supposed to be in charge of, in order for him to share “his goals.” This certainly exemplifies modern conservative thinking.
What I am saying is get to the point of what his plans are to make things better. I served in the Army, law enforcement and Homeland Security (retired now). I seen politics cause more problems than to make operations efficient and affective. I seen appointments based on DEI that endangered the team. I want to know what it is that he is planning to do in the position. I did watch the hearing and it was not pointed enough for me to conclude if he should or should not be given the opportunity.
He is absolutely UNQUALIFIED. What - outside of Trump pointing at him - makes him qualified for this office? I appreciate his service history, but he is sooooo far from qualified for this role. I appreciate that we need a strong military, and it will NOT be strong under his WEAK experience.
He is openly, confidently lying, bootlicking, and saying whatever he thinks people want to hear, this boy blows a load everytime he looks in the mirror and thinks “I’m gonna be in charge of the US military” That’s all he wants. The title. The money. The women. The valour. He doesn’t even know where specific countries are when asked 😂
@@AnnieFerguson-w9b You're condescending comment is audacious! Like you KNOW him and are willing to judge him on his "sin" totally forgetting you too are a sinner and no one knows THAT sin but God and you. He's a public figure and yes, his sins are before him. Instead of PREYING on him. Why not PRAY for him. Lord Knows He and I need lots of that! Not condemnation. God bless you Annie
We don't need attitudes like yours given the last 12 years we have suffered under the past people who worked hard to make America a 3rd world country. 😢
Excellent nominee. We need a No-BS Secretary Defense like him. He’s right about women in combat roles…like it or not. It doesn’t mean that women don’t have an opportunity to rise within the ranks. It means that they need to meet the same standards as men. Lives including their own depend on it.
Literally how? Because of how “good” Hegseth is at dodging questions? Don’t believe me? Earlier in video he refuses to say whether or not dei will possibly be dismantled.

Characteristics: Presupposition: The question assumes something that has not been established as true. Inescapable Trap: Answering directly (with "yes" or "no") implicitly affirms the assumption. Manipulation: It puts the respondent in a position where neither answer is desirable or accurate. How to Respond: The best way to respond to a loaded question is to challenge the premise instead of directly answering: "I reject the premise of your question." "Your question assumes something that isn't true." "Can you clarify or reframe the question?" This approach reframes the discussion and avoids falling into the trap.
Sure but it’s not always appropriate or legal, the entire point of government, is that they are in positions of power, and we are not. Because we decided that was the best way to do things. So if they have to answer yes or not, then they should just do that
Hegseth has allegations of misconduct, including accusations of sexual impropriety, excessive drinking and financial mismanagement of two veterans nonprofits he ran.
For a pentagon that hasn’t passed an audit in 18 years and Congress/senate hasn’t had a problem with it, is now worried he won’t be able to keep the budget 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Over the top emotional rantings from the female senator the exact reason why we don't want women emotionally unhinged on the battlefield and I don't think Russia or China has very many moms in their fighting force

He also degrades men currently serving in our military. It’s as they were not competent to get all military fit and ready, including women in combat. So, someone that thick would be detrimental to combat moral imho.
Don’t worry everyone. These people are just the face of these areas. They aren’t the people who actually undertake the actions, just because someone receives an order, doesn’t mean they will execute it. Laws shmaws, if this idiot orders people to do awful unethical things, they won’t do it. Just because he’s an idiot, doesn’t mean they all are.
Pete Hegseth has strong desire to be the Boss of Pentagon or other military departments, why He did not apply for those high level military positions in the past 7+ years? Pete Hegseth has been working for Fox News since 2014 and was co-host of Fox & Friends from 2017 to 2024. Now, Pete desperately needs some US Senators and leaders to promote him to be the Boss of Pentagon and manage 3,000,000+ military troops? I guess it’s ok if it was an ordinary company but not ok to be the Boss of Pentagon!
I was denied the opportunity to fly fighter jets because I wasn't tall enough! And that's ok. If I cnat reach the pedals, I shouldnt be flying those things in defense of this counrty and my family!
incredible use of "loaded questions" and "complex question fallacy" when the questioners say "true or false" or "yes or no" answer. The question is manipulative.
No the questions were very simple. Did you or did you not? He couldn’t answer yes or no because that would admit guilt or even worse make him look unqualified.
If the criteria to become US Secretary of Defense are (1) whenever you meet Trump to talk exclusively about military topics only and (2) when Trump asks you whether "you want to become Secretary of Defense" you reply promptly, unequivocally and even without any consultation with your dear ones "Yes, I do", then Pete Hegseth is the man. Who cares for the rest. That is the new standard now. No surprise whatsoever. Trump Organization Senators of US Congress will approve this guy. Why to spend all this money organizing such hearings, is incomprehensible.
What's Happening: Dismissive Interpretation: The questioner dismisses the respondent's attempt to clarify, deflect, or reject the premise of the question. Implied Agreement: By framing the response as a "yes" or "no" regardless of the actual answer, the questioner is imposing their own interpretation. Coercion or Framing: This behavior is a rhetorical technique to force a conclusion or make the respondent appear evasive. Why It’s Problematic: It misrepresents the respondent's position. It invalidates the nuance or context of the response. It’s often seen as a form of intellectual dishonesty because it disregards the actual content of the conversation in favor of a predetermined narrative. Possible Responses: "You're putting words in my mouth; that's not what I said." "You're misinterpreting my response; let me clarify." "If you're unwilling to engage with my actual answer, this conversation isn't productive."
