Pete Hegseth -- Donald Trump's pick for Secretary of Defense -- is making all the right people absolutely melt down. That tells us this is a good choice. Hegseth is a Fox News host, but he's also a decorated veteran who did tours in Iraq, Afghanistan, and at Guantanamo Bay.
So he knows that of which he speaks, but that won't stop the Left from screaming he's 'unqualified' (ya know, the Left that put a man pretending to be a woman in charge of Health and Human Services).
One of the things they're clutching pearls over is Hegseth's comments that women should not be in combat roles:

Is Aaron Rupar seriously saying it's a bad thing we don't want to send women to die in war?
Really?
Weird flex, but okay.
Calm down Aaron. This isn’t about courage, it’s about physical strength. For example, high school boys are faster & stronger than female, adult Olympians. The gulf only grows from there.

It sure is.
Good societies protect their women.

We know and love women who've served, but this is correct.
He’s right. You know he’s right. I know he’s right. We all know he’s right.

The fact only men are required to sign up for Selective Service when they turn 18 is proof.
Hegseth: Human history says men are more capable at war.

Rupar: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Completely on-brand for Rupar, frankly.
Only 16 countries in the world allow women in combat, and the reason is simple — studies show all-male combat units perform better.

Lives are at stake here. This is no place to argue equality so you can feel better about yourself. pic.twitter.com/H42GBAPmkh
Lives are at stake. But the Left has made it painfully clear they put their woke agenda before lives and safety.
Every combat veteran I’ve ever talked to about this subject has said the same thing https://t.co/wBon4QTo0z

Amazing how the Left ignores them.
Rupar, who’s never spent a moment in uniform or been in combat is quietly judging Hegseyh with 20 years and two Bronze Stars. https://t.co/qxgvLsoCiL

Because of course he does.
What's wrong with this exactly?

It's probably one in a thousand women that are physically fit and appropriate enough for a combat role.
There's plenty of other jobs for women to do in the military, even deploy front lines. https://t.co/lU6EbCdnkX
Bingo. He didn't say they can't serve, just that they shouldn't be in combat roles.
the women most likely to be bothered by this also happen to be the ones who are least likely to be useful in combat roles https://t.co/6JfmjVNnS0

Exactly.
They keep unearthing clips that they think are disqualifying but he’s right and every sane person in America knows it. https://t.co/p7DzDlIOG5
