Even when I was in the Army back in 2002, women had significantly lower physical standards and loosened grooming requirements (long hair, period). In combat nobody is going to give 2 shakes that "its that time of the month" so you can't hump 60lbs on your back 200 yards under fire to your OP due to cramps. What's the solution to that?
I served from 2013 to December 31, 2018, as an 11b, and for a short time as a mechanic. I have only met three women who I think would do well in combat, but not for the multiple weeks often required to be in the field.
Women SHOULDNT be in combat MOS's. It's funny that all the people who say they should have never served and by some small stroke of luck they have, they themselves were not combat arms.
Mandate 50% of the women in the military and draft them if necessary to fill the quotas. The same with brick layers, drilling for oil, mining, plumbing, road and construction jobs. All NEED to be 50% or it's not fair and equitable.
Only men are required by law to register for selective service. If you are a women and want to join the service, sign the paperwork and start boot camp training.
If standards of fitness were lowered to allow women in combat that is a mistake! Let women serve where extreme levels of fitness are not demanded. Women are capable in other areas and can serve with distinction!!
I hate how they just throw around the term combat veteran. I and most infantry guys don't consider you a combat veteran unless you have an actual CIB badge. Which Pete Hegseth does. I served in the infantry and deployed in 2008 in Iraq for 13 months doing actually combat missions and operations. But I don't have a CIB so I don't consider myself a combat veteran. A lot of it is because the unit we replace cleared out most of the city and saw most of the action. I guarantee you that I've don't more missions and operations out in the red zone then these people. Most of these people that is calling themselves a combat veteran are people that deployed to a combat zone. But spent most of their time in the wire on the FOB. I saw it a lot when I was deployed. It was mostly the combat units going out doing missions everyday.
They NEVER CHANGED. Don't you get it? You have been played. Team Trump tells you one thing and then does another. How many time do they pull the old bait and switch on you before you get it? They have NOTHING. No policies to rebuild our infrastructure. Nothing to help working class Americans. Only divide and conquer strategies, designed to keep you and me poor and them and their buddies rich.
They don't go through the same training as the men ARC drop out. All the standards are lowered for the woman. Every single one of them. If the men had to complete boot camp with the same standards that the military gives to woman. it would be a walk in the park to the men. PERIOD.Get your FACTS straight. IT IS NOT THE SAME TRAINING. Tell me when was the last time you seen a male Navy Seal do a push-up on there knee's??? Oh wait only woman get to do that. Then there 120 pound ruck sack gets drilled down to 60 pounds JUST FOR WOMAN!!! Please tell me again how they go through the same training as the men. But hey its your made up story. Tell any way you like. It will still come out as non-factual. Wait next time do every single word in caps lock. Then maybe that will make your story true. Nope it is still a story with not one FACT backing it up.
Combat Veteran is tossed around way too much by the media without understanding what that means, specially to a veteran. The Army is very specific about who is a Combat Vet, they have been awarded a CIB, CMB or CAB; the Air Force has a Medal for Combat Action, the Navy/Marine Corp has the Combat Action Ribbon. The first interviewee is not a Combat Vet, look at her "I love me wall" at 00:54, she proudly displays her Bronze Star (probably for professional achievement aka end of tour award for so many) and some unit patches/badges and the famous joke Secret Squirrel patch but no Army Combat Badge. She is a REMF, just like me, assigned to an in theater support posting, her's being in the Green Zone (US Embassy). Not trying to discredit her because she obviously played a valuable role. The difference in the opines of the ladies is obvious to me, one was a senior officer and the others where enlisted. The officer corps of all the services is very politically correct or they get passed over for not toting the party line, whereas the enlisted are more practical and blunt about it. Simply put, those who can, can and those who can't, shouldn't.
I see way too many people conflating "combat" with "combat role". There is a huge difference between being a medic in an infantry platoon, and being somebody who has to kill or defend themselves with nothing but their bare hands and their innate strength. A woman can certainly become a sniper; many have. But to say a woman can kill an enemy soldier (man) with her bare hands? That's simply a fantasy. And now, thanks to these hearings, at least the Ds are admitting that they HAVE lowered standards, just to satisfy quotas.
For practicality reason, woman should only be assigned to non combat. But if a woman to be a POW and get violated then let them go. Some just love the loving
I will try to define the reason. As intricate and in detail as much as possible. I am not sure i will have enough room to type the reason why. But here goes. " WOMAN ARE TOO WEAK" To complete the same boot camp as the men. This is not my opinion it is a historical FACT. It is such a historical fact that every single military branch lowered the fiscal fitness standards just for WOMAN. Did i mention they are WEAK.
Why did Americans military service lowered the standard bar so women shouldn't be able to lifting over 150 pounds weight guns and ammo and knife and adding additional women's female medical products and having private bathrooms and private locker rooms and private bedroom and shouldn't be sharing space with biological male men in military service plus making expensive smaller women military service uniforms and smaller boots and military service shouldn't be lowering and standards for women if women can't handle high heat and coldest winter and women needs 2 biological male military service men to protect women in combat in front line and that's a dangerous jobs to losing 2 military service members men for just 1 biological female woman in military ‼️ I lost my beautiful Christian Baptist Church goer girlfriend in 1990 and she was a Air Force Radio Technician and gotten blown up by rockets bomb in overseas countries Iran and she had no gun and she was only to be safe in radio station and yet she died among others women ages 28 years old I couldn't qualify for Army military service Draft when I turned 18 years old after I just graduated from public highschool and I only have 3 years with my beautiful girlfriend until she went to Air Force training and wasn't supposed to die and never get to come home alive she came home bits of pieces not full body my girlfriend parents paid for full body casket but she .... didn't fill the head of her casket and.. rest was empty space. 😢😢😢😥 So shut the hell up 😡 I hate losing my girlfriend in wars she shouldn't be allowed to go to wars ‼️😡😡😡shut up ‼️ you don't have any rights to women Life to be killed off. Shut the hell up 😡‼️
How about the women fighter pilots, those in the Army and Marines that drove in convoys that gave and received fire although may not have been an infantry person? Think Senator Tammy Duckworth that was a Helo pilot that lost both of her legs would agree with you?
@@M.J.212you guys are absolutely missing the point. For the longest time women’s physical standards have been lower. These jobs that are not “combat arms” are very different than serving in a front line infantry unit, being deployed in a combat zone, where you are carrying your equipment with you, sometimes for multiple weeks, and engaging in direct action engagements -which can last upwards of multiple weeks before you get a proper shower. That’s not for women for multiple reasons. Especially if the standards are lower. Just because you’re a woman does not mean a 200lb man will weigh less. Just because you’re a women does not mean that 1 mile is less, or that your fear is lighter. The fact is yes, if you deploy and have a mortar round land close by, you are considered a combat veteran. Same with being in a convoy. Sure, it’s absolutely terrifying that you can get ambushed, or more likely: run across an IED. But that is still different than being in an infantry unit, and being told you’re going to take part in a multiweek operation of clearing an entire town or city, or village. And being told that it is guaranteed some of you ARE NOT coming back. Often in inclement weather, carrying not just your normal gear, but extra machine gun ammo, extra batteries, and other equipment.
@@M.J.212and to answer your question, those women pilots that engage in combat are absolutely combat veterans are badass….. but it will always be different than being in the infantry. Because you don’t get to sleep in a warm bed at night like those pilots. That does not take away from their service. It’s just the truth
I'm a woman, and I agree that women should not be in combat unless they can pass the same physical requirements as men.
Why should anyone listen to YOU ... WOMAN.
Thank you for your honesty

Good point
ex 10 yrs full time army here i never wanted to do combat but i was happy to support any male or female that could meet specs to do so
That "combat vet" woman was in the green zone at the Embassy. Tough duty. Yessir. Must have got in a fight at the ice cream bar or some such.
Women SHOULDNT be in combat MOS's. It's funny that all the people who say they should have never served and by some small stroke of luck they have, they themselves were not combat arms.
Some of the best snipers in history have been women...

Pete understands combat.

If you are a women and want to join the service, sign the paperwork and start boot camp training.

Not fit for combat, don't tell that to the israelis, or the Ukrainians.
pete hegseth destroyed these democrats today ,it was fantastic ,elizabeth warren was laughed out of the room

Yep, especially those with an eye towards higher rank...
Don't lower the standards
I'm an Army Intelligence vet and Pete is totally unqualified for this position. Give me a break.
If they can keep standards at the same hieght then fine. Once they lower the standard the answer must be no. Sorry Not Sorry Feminist

HOW MANY NAVY SEALS HAVE GONE THRU THE SAME TRAIN as THE MEN HAVE AND ARE OPERATIONAL???

And in the mean time the men have to take the women's slack.

Belief, but the facts say otherwise all male combat units are far more effective than mixed units
Why are womens' physical requirements lower than mens'?
If you don't know by now, you never will.
I will try to define the reason. As intricate and in detail as much as possible. I am not sure i will have enough room to type the reason why. But here goes.

We should NOT even be seeing this take place, Trump should never have been allowed to run for office!!
Why did Americans military service lowered the standard bar so women shouldn't be able to lifting over 150 pounds weight guns and ammo and knife and adding additional women's female medical products and having private bathrooms and private locker rooms and private bedroom and shouldn't be sharing space with biological male men in military service plus making expensive smaller women military service uniforms and smaller boots and military service shouldn't be lowering and standards for women if women can't handle high heat and coldest winter and women needs 2 biological male military service men to protect women in combat in front line and that's a dangerous jobs to losing 2 military service members men for just 1 biological female woman in military ‼️
I lost my beautiful Christian Baptist Church goer girlfriend in 1990 and she was a Air Force Radio Technician and gotten blown up by rockets bomb in overseas countries Iran and she had no gun and she was only to be safe in radio station and yet she died among others women ages 28 years old I couldn't qualify for Army military service Draft when I turned 18 years old after I just graduated from public highschool and I only have 3 years with my beautiful girlfriend until she went to Air Force training and wasn't supposed to die and never get to come home alive she came home bits of pieces not full body my girlfriend parents paid for full body casket but she .... didn't fill the head of her casket and.. rest was empty space. 😢😢😢😥

Cry me a river, build a bridge and get over it. Trump is your president now
Crybaby
😂 It's gonna be a long 4 years for you. Maybe move to a remote location with no internet.
You are not a combat veteran unless pay have a CIB, Combat Infantryman Badge, as you have performed direct action.
Air Force Weapons Systems Specialist here that had mortar in my tent. I'm not a "combat vet"? Sure felt like I was.
How about the women fighter pilots, those in the Army and Marines that drove in convoys that gave and received fire although may not have been an infantry person? Think Senator Tammy Duckworth that was a Helo pilot that lost both of her legs would agree with you?
