The Federalist: No, The Military Should Not Be Sending Women Into Combat
During Pete Hegseth's confirmation hearing for defense secretary, Senate Democrats expressed strong opposition to his belief that women should not serve in ground combat roles, arguing it affects military readiness. Some senators, including Joni Ernst, supported women’s opportunities in combat if they meet high standards.
Despite the push for gender equality in the military, studies indicate that all-male units outperform mixed-gender units in combat efficiency. Critics argue that deploying women in combat roles undermines military effectiveness and contradicts traditional gender roles. The focus, they contend, should remain on mission success rather than diversity.
