Should women serve in combat? Military experts weigh in
Fox News
Pete Hegseth is facing a firestorm of backlash for voicing his belief that women should not serve in military combat roles. Opinions among combat and military experts are more split.
"I think soon-to-be Secretary Hegseth stated simple truths that 12 years ago were commonly understood and affirmed by the senior-most leaders in the Pentagon, the rank and file of the military and the culture at large, that war and in particular units that are made and forged to fight in war with no other purpose are units meant for men and men only," he said. Peter Pinedo is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"Biological sex and relationships between men and women is a reality that you can't avoid," he added. "And when you induce stress, physical uncertainty, physical proximity and unique scenarios to that biological reality, you get a fracture of what would have been a typical military team, or a military unit forged for warfighting."
