After seeing the female Dems giving him hell, I don't see how he could think women are not killer enough for combat. The idea that every male soldier is more fit or mentally ready for war than any given woman is a joke.

After seeing the female Dems giving him hell, I don't see how he could think women are not killer enough for combat. The idea that every male soldier is more fit or mentally ready for war than any given woman is a joke.
I know I served with some ladies with lethal skills. Conversely, I served with some men that weren't ready for anything, much less a fire-fight.
Democrats will need to do as you say Thom, and I'd love to see all the good people do their part regardless of gender. Wake-up indeed, especially because they are so afraid of "woke" politics!
Alis, biologically women make better pilots,better reflexes than men, lower center of gravity, they also make better SEALS, higher tolerance for pain, and cold, The initiation that SEALS and special operators have to go through, is bullshit, has nothing to do with duty performance, it is simply a hazing ritual to wash out those that aren't ape men, and maintain the ego of SEALS and special operators. the macho mystique.. I was a spec ops team leader, and once out of the hazing period, my team and never had to endure the bullshit
Stalin found that women made better snipers than men, and then there was the famous squadron of Night Witches, women who flew bombing raids at night.
Thanks for your expertise, honesty, and service William.
Taking in 18 and 19 year old physically and mentally immature recruits and turning them into "men" was our method. We changed a little, the weapons changed, and we can still get the job done. Hand to hand combat, is that reality? Looking at Ukraine should inform these backward thinking men of SOMETHING.
My Dad was a World War II vet with a bunch of metals. He was 5'7" and weighed 122 lbs. according to his DD 214. Jack wasn't a muscled-up farm kid. He became a tail-gunner---just the right size for his 35 missions.
Intelligent leaders know how to use their troops. It's so lazy and archaic to think "uniform" soldiers and men only are the answer for combat THESE days.
I appreciate the fact that Senator Duckworth gave such a powerful performance, but the fact remains that Hegseth will be confirmed because the GOP know how to circle the wagons and the Dem's do not. I was glad we were rid of Sinema and Manchin, now we have Fetterman and Gallego. Wonderful.
Senator Duckworth handed Hegseth his ass.

I totally agree alis.

"...the GOP know how to circle the wagons and the Dem's do not." Bingo. That's every battle between these two parties for at least the last 4 decades.
It's. Always. Some. Damn. Person.
Democrats are not the problem, and I will never lose sight of that.
