Full interview dropping tomorrow 🥩
The Defense Department on Monday revealed that it would be imposing “sex-neutral” standards for military combat roles.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the changes to its physical fitness requirements in an effort to “fix” the standards that he said were “lowered” under President Barack Obama’s administration.
“Different physical standards for men and women in the U.S. military have existed for a long time. BUT, there were also combat roles that were male-only,” Hegseth said in a statement on X. “Then, under Obama, all combat roles were opened to men AND women. BUT, different physical fitness standards for men and women remained.”
“Today at the Department of Defense — we fix this. All combat roles are open to men and women BUT they must all meet the same, high standard. No standards will be lowered AND all combat roles will only have sex-neutral standards. Common sense,” Hegseth added.
Thank you to @RepLuttrell for cosponsoring HR 645, the National Constitutional Carry Act.
No one should have to beg the government to exercise a constitutionally protected right anywhere in the country.
