The former Fox News commentator has made it clear, in his own book and in interviews, that he believes men and women should not serve together in combat units. If Hegseth is confirmed by the Senate, he could try to end the Pentagon’s nearly decade-old practice of making all combat jobs open to women.
“I’m straight up just saying we should not have women in combat roles. It hasn’t made us more effective. Hasn’t made us more lethal. Has made fighting more complicated,” he said in a podcast hosted by Shawn Ryan on Nov. 7. Women have a place in the military, he said, just not in special operations, artillery, infantry and armor units.
“Who’s going to replace them? Men? And we’re having trouble recruiting men into the Army right now,” said Lory Manning, a retired Navy captain who works with the Service Women’s Action Network.
Someone who can’t comprehend men and women working together in combat is someone who can’t comprehend working with women.
They know they can’t work with women because they are fucked up perverts with no self control, that never learned how to be an adult.
I have nothing against normal perverts, just fucked up closeted conservative perverts.
Back when the Boy Scouts were first admitting girls, I was at camp with my kids and talked to some of the older scouts.
They thought it was a great idea because scouting is supposed to prepare you for the real world, and in the real world men and women often have to work together.
We’re going back…
No I don’t think it did reignite a debate.
Stop saying that to justify his crazy shit.
“Has made fighting more complicated.”
I was in the army (Finnish, not American) with women and there were no problems.
not in special operations, artillery, infantry and armor units.
Armor units as in armored vehicles? Women are great for tank crews, what the hell? Well I mean at least as useful as men, that it, but like made me think of Soviet female tank drivers or smth.
“Who’s going to replace them? Men? And we’re having trouble recruiting men into the Army right now,” said Lory Manning,
Oh, Lory, unfortunately these aren’t people who listen to — or are even capable of — reason.
I mean it’s pretty clear Republicans don’t think women are equal or they wouldn’t focus so much energy into making them not equal.
So it should come to no one’s surprise that they don’t want them serving in equal capacity in the military.
Should women be allowed to fight on the front lines?
If the individual woman passes the required physical and psychological standards and requirements for the combat MOS, absolutely.
However, they shouldn’t get carte blanche special or relaxed standards and treatment; lives are at stake.
Boo hoo, women are complicated. Shut the fuck up.
