@facethenation: Asked about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s argument that fitness standards in the military should be “gender neutral,” Illinois Sen. Tammy Duckworth, a combat veteran who was seriously wounded while serving as an Army helicopter pilot during the Iraq War, tells Margaret Brennan that Hegseth is the “least qualified Secretary of Defense in our nation's history, and he's questioning the ability of the women who actually qualify… to do their jobs.” “He has long sought to push women out of the military,” Duckworth adds, “And, frankly, our military could not do its job of protecting America and keeping us safe without the women who serve in the military.” #military #militarytiktok #army #genderneutral #Fitness

Tammy Duckworth is far more qualified to be the Secretary of Defense than Pete Hegseth

Pete Hegseth is making our military stronger instead of weaker. This administration is awesome.

He didn’t say “man standard”, he said standard. Sounds pretty equal to me

Calling something gender neutral but making it where the male standard is required then it’s not about being neutral

The idea that modern warfare requires more physical fitness than mental fitness is laughable on its face

No woman has graduate SEAL training. He is going to make it so everyone in combat arms units have to meet the male PT standards if woman can pass it more power to them if not then so be it. And the Lioness program they didn’t go out by themselves they would fall in with us on patrols and talk to the women after we cleared the building and secured the area
