@bbcnews: US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has declared an end to "woke" culture at the Pentagon and announced new "male-level" fitness standards for military officials. #Pentagon #PeteHegseth #Military #USPolitics #BBCNews
But he also said there are men who won’t make it. That part was conveniently cut off.

If you don’t meet the minimum physical standards, you don’t qualify, that sounds fair. It’s the army, not a clerk.

Common sense. I mean… realistically if a 6’2” 220lb male goes down in a fire fight, will a 5”6 140lb female be able to drag or lift him out of there? If she can… great, then she deserves to be there. But if not, then it’s a danger to everyone to have her around. “Is what it is” 🤷🏻♂

How is this controversial? He’s right, war doesn’t care about your gender. The bar should be the same for everyone.
