Retired Gen. Mark Milley Gives Trump's DOD Pick 'S**t' Over His 'Women In Combat' Talk
HuffPost
The former chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Trump took a not-so-subtle jab at Pete Hegseth over his "lecture" on the topic.
Retired Army Gen. Mark Milley defended women serving in military combat roles on Wednesday as he seemingly slammed comments by former Fox News host Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump’s pick to run the Department of Defense.
“Don’t lecture me about women in combat. Women have been in combat and it doesn’t matter if that 7.62 hits you in the chest, no one gives a shit if it’s a woman or guy who pulled that trigger, you’re still dead,” said Milley, a former chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the president-elect’s first term.
Milley, who has notably described Trump as “a total fascist” and the “most dangerous person ever,” made the not-so-subtle jab at Hegseth over remarks he made just days before the president-elect announced him as his defense secretary pick.
“I’m straight-up just saying we should not have women in combat roles. It hasn’t made us more effective, it hasn’t made us more lethal, it has made fighting more complicated,” said Hegseth in an appearance on the “Shawn Ryan Show.”
Hegseth later clarified that he was referring to women in “physical, labor-intensive” roles in the military.
