Does he understand that almost no combat is done hand to hand anymore? Almost everything is fought by drones, vehicles, or at a very long distance. Does this guy think we live in Ancient Rome?

Can we also say it’s unacceptable to leak war plans on signal?

As a woman vet, he absolutely hates women who serve. Him thinking women can’t meet standards for combat yet he can’t put down a bottle if he tried

says the standards need to be gender neutral but then says they need to be at the highest MALE standard

If it’s gender neutral, why are we using “the highest male standard?”

Can we say the standard for the secretary of war should be sobriety?

He could have said that it’s gender neutral whether they are male or female. Why say a male standard? He could’ve literally sold this as equity, but chose to say it this way. I feel like it’s a blatant sexism rollout.
