President-elect Donald Trump's nomination of Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense has reignited a long-standing debate over whether women should serve in combat roles. Hegseth, a Fox News commentator, has expressed skepticism about women in front-line positions, which has drawn criticism from advocates for gender equality in the military. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, in contrast, has emphasized that women in the military make the force stronger. The debate touches on broader issues of military readiness, gender roles, and equality in the armed forces.

Trump’s defense pick reignites debate over women serving in combat roles

It's frustrating to see this debate pop up again—women have already proven they’re just as capable in combat roles. Limiting opportunities based on outdated gender stereotypes does nothing but hold us back.

women are just as capable then men. women should have the right to fight for the nation just as much as men. people who say otherwise are the same people who's mind is stuck in the 19th century.

“people who say otherwise are the same people who's mind is stuck in the 19th century.”
Sadly this is what our government is going to be run by soon...
