Hegseth and the woke

If someone volunteers, wants to risk their life, and meets requirements then by all means let them do their thing.
Most women, I have met, that are in the military could beat your ass at any game, or game of life, you chose. So, if I were to be in the military again, I would rather have any of them than you or the drunken, women beating hogsbreath.
From an arm chair that sounds reasonable, but what if you're among the enlisted population and counting on these "volunteers" to have your back in physical combat?...
I believe that misogyny actually won this election. Probably the most public thing they did to wrangle and maintain mainstream republican votes was scare people about undocumented people. However, they were able to get more young male votes by leveraging against women. Blackpill movements were a big part of what was used to start to pull young men into the right wing media realm either on social media or in podcasts. I think telling incels and lonely guys that they are lonely because women are just so into hookup culture, the young white women are into race mixing and that's why you can't find a white woman are all very effective.
One thing I do find interesting is that they believe hookup culture is an issue, that women are sluts, have too many babies out of wedlock, but also the pregnancy rates are too low. They are very feeling driven.

How ironic is it that Bonespurs dodged the draft and now his nominee is lecturing women on being too big of pussies to properly serve.
IDGAF, but I do know every female in the military could kick your ass around like a hacky sack.
I don’t either. I’m just saying what the concern is for most in regards to it. It’s not that they can’t fight or shoot. It’s, “can they drag a guy and carry a guy at the same time if needed.”
I posted this before, but having no military experience, I take this from my BIL, who led men into combat many times as a lieutenant, captain and Major across 5 tours in Iraq.
He said this: the biggest issue with women in combat is that men think differently when women are around. A male soldier might be briefly inclined to impress or defend a woman instead of focusing on the objective. Hesitation or that instinct can cost limbs or lives quickly.
He also said it was common that the women would essentially get "passed around" within the unit. This led to rifts between soldiers sometimes, not to mention the emotional toll it takes on the woman. The emotions, feelings, and dynamics that were unavoidable when women were in the unit were a liability to the safety of the soldiers.
That was his take, and it makes total sense to me.

So the men are the problem LOL
Honestly I don’t have a problem with his position on women in combat. It’s the lack of qualifications, sycophancy, harassment, embezzlement, and incompetence that concerns me regarding Hegseth.

Sort of? Everything you listed there were about men who apparently were still children and couldn't control themselves
I think the best way forward is to fully democratize the management of the military so that everyone can feel good or bad about it to their liking.
Sounds like a problem with the men, just like Viggo Mortensen said. "They're not the problem, we are."
Ah, so we're back to women have to dress demurely because men can't control themselves.
