Pete Hegseth Argues Women Shouldn't Be In Military Combat Roles
“I’m straight-up just saying we should not have women in combat roles. It hasn’t made us more effective, it hasn’t made us more lethal, it has made fighting more complicated,” Hegseth told the “Shawn Ryan Show” while promoting his book, “The War on Warriors.”

@nursefrombirth That the guy Trump picked because he looks the part or some such? Yeeeesh.
@tyghebright @nursefrombirth Even better. Good flipping lords.
@nursefrombirth JFC I was in a field MOS in the goddamn 70s! Crack shot, top rated field team, they stop lossed me cuz they were sending my 4 person com team to Iran to get the hostages in the 80s. These fuckers want to send us back to Mayberry.
@nursefrombirth Related: That asshole was ejected from Biden's inauguration because he has a Jerusalem cross tattoo that can be viewed as an extremist white or Christian supremacy symbol, and has been used as such.

Tammy Duckworth Has Blunt Question For Trump's 'Dangerous' Defense Secretary Pick
Sen. Tammy Duckworth, an Army National Guard veteran, shut down Trump’s defense secretary pick Pete Hegseth over his remarks that women shouldn’t serve in military combat roles.
“I would ask him, you know, ‘Where do you think I lost my legs? In a bar fight?’ I’m pretty sure I was in combat when that happened,” Duckworth said in an interview with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins.
