Pete Hegseth’s remarks about women in combat are met with disgust and dissent
Hundreds of women have proven their competence and were awarded for their heroism during the nation’s longest war in Iraq and Afghanistan, advocates said.
Summary
Female veterans and service members are condemning Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth’s comments opposing women in combat roles, calling them outdated and harmful.
Hegseth claimed women in combat complicate military effectiveness, despite decades of evidence proving their competence, including service in Iraq and Afghanistan, where over 300,000 women served, with 179 killed and over 1,000 wounded.
Critics, including Sen. Tammy Duckworth, a Purple Heart recipient, argue Hegseth’s views ignore the realities of modern warfare.
His nomination has sparked backlash, further amplified by past allegations of sexual misconduct.
You're viewing a single thread.
Sexual misconduct is a prerequisite for the trump administration
to be fair the army has historically been quite fond of it as well
I thought that was the navy 😉😘⚓️💦👅
You misspelled requirement
What do you think a prerequisite is? If you're going to be pedantic, at least be right...
Hah! Beat me to the pedantry! I love that word.
I'm sorry are we not allowed to do accurate jokes anymore? Fuck right off with that.
But it wasn't funny because a prerequisite and a requirement could be used interchangeably...can you try being less of an asshole? It might help your jokes land
So prerequisite only applies before, not necessarily during. I was stating its going to be continually required that they're pieces of shit. They are interchangeable in the same sense that a cheeseburger is always a hamburger but a hamburger is not always a cheeseburger.
A prerequisite is basically a pre-requirement.
Oh nice, I didn't think to type exactly that earlier.
