Well we won't have to worry about Alliance being in Jeopardy with Sec Def 47. Amazing that is the number of Push ups he did. Wonder why.
back to the point. We won't have to worry since he cannot name them or partner nations.
It is also overlooked he did not know who negotiated SOFA's. Did he think it was each National Guard Major did it per deployment?
Yes. The Laotian Air Force Secretary called Hegseth yesterday and is now de-pledging his Cessna 150 and 15 troops because of the slight. He did ask if we still plan on sending our multi-million dollar assistance check.

Love it. Like everything I mentioned started in 2020. Trumpists have no calendars.
I’m sure our coming alliance with Putin will solve things.War in Europe? Drones flying over US? Alliances in jeopardy? Name exactly 1 country who is refusing to cash checks from the US for "defense".

Yes, in the U.S. military, women and men in combat units are required to pass the same physical test, known as the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT), which is designed to be gender-neutral and assesses physical abilities needed for combat scenarios, regardless of gender; however, there has been some debate regarding whether the test equally challenges both genders, with some arguing that it may disadvantage female soldiers in certain aspects.
Key points about the ACFT:-
Gender-neutral standards:The test uses the same standards for both men and women, meaning the required performance level is the same across genders.
-
Combat-focused events:The test includes events like a deadlift, power throw, hand-release push-ups, a sprint-drag-carry, and a two-mile run, designed to mimic physical demands of combat situations.
-
Criticisms:Some argue that the test may disproportionately affect female soldiers due to physiological differences, leading to concerns about potential gender bias.But, ya do know not everyone in the military is a combat arms person right? I mean, someone has to send you the spam and bullets. Do they need the same standards as a Ranger?
Sorry to break your AI bubble. Here are the scoring grids. Not 1 event or age group has the men vs women standards equal. Not one.

Do we also agree that in 2025, with a war raging in Europe, China threatening an all out invasion of Taiwan, our alliances in jeopardy, drone warfare, AI, and asymmetric warfare ascendant, whether private Jane can lift 120 lbs should be near the bottom of our SecDef’s concerns?
I dont disagree that Biden/Harris/Austin have created a shitshow. No doubts.

there's a difference winning multiple elections and being given the SoDef position
but hey, easy to be confused for some
it's not his fault his mom drank, smoked and stripped during her pregnancy
What election did she win? Presidential? Democratic Primary? Are you even able to actually vote for the VP individually?

Literally the first article after googling
”The services have said they did not decrease the standards for any of the combat jobs.”
https://apnews.com/article/military-women-defense-hegseth-combat-916d50a7b465ccfea1aeb13bb91064b3#
Ha!
In 2013, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced that women would be allowed to serve in direct ground combat roles.
Before 2013, only men could serve. We all agree?
Now, please share the PFT standards of women vs men.

Tim Kaine was Mayor of Richmond during the Clinton impeachment.
Clinton was not impeached for infidelity, but rather perjury and obstruction of justice.
The Senate that tried Clinton's impeachment had 15 R votes to acquit on both counts. The "democrat" Senate could not have done it alone.
But I know you got your talking point from Megyn Kelly.
Nice work.
Thank you for quoting me.
Yes, I’m glad we agree. Republicans then and now have kept the same position. Democrats have not.
Having an affair does not disqualify you from holding office. If so, we would have no politicians/government officials.
Tim Kaine clearly thinks it does. He didn’t mention sexual assault or abuse with Hegspeth. Only that he cheated on his wife, disgraced his children, had sex with another women, etc…. That behavior was disqualifying.
Great point on Clinton impeachment for lying. I think we both agree that the Senators are professional/unbiased enough to only judge the lying and completely separate the infidelity. Trumps was exactly the same. It was only the phone call and all other Trump baggage was not a factor.

Hold up.
In the confirmation hearing, Hegseth was seriously asked how many push-ups he does/did/could do?
Y'all are joking, right?
Right???
The real issue is that yall are okay with having an infantry platoon full of women who can only do 10 push ups or run a mile in 15 minutes as 100% qualified troops. But another platoon where men can do 100 push -ups and run a mile in 9 minutes is only 65% qualified.
But let’s get back to the sound bites…

Most rapes go unreported. Surely it’s not your belief that sexual assault only occurs when a person is found guilty.
I agree a lot don’t go reported. But the ones I’m talking about are the ones that HAVE been reported. Gaetz, Hegspeth, Trump, Kavanaugh, have had accusers.. The incidents have been reported. depositions, investigations, discovery, witnesses, evidence, etc… by Congress, FBI, DOJ, local law enforcement, etc…None of them have been found of committing the sexual crimes they are accused of.

. You accused Clinton of being a “pedo.”
He may be. He may have flown on Epstien’s jet. I’ve seen no credible evidence beyond the supposed logs.
In contrast your hero has been pictured multiple times with Epstein and there is quite a bit more evidence (including credible accusations) that he had sex with minors through Epstein.
https://nypost.com/2020/08/18/photos-show-bill-clinton-getting-massage-from-epstein-accuser/
Former President Bill Clinton grins with clear joy as he gets a massage from a Jeffrey Epstein accuser after a flight on the pedophile’s “Lolita Express” personal jet.
A beaming Bubba was captured in a stunning series of newly unearthed snaps relaxing with a rubdown from Epstein accuser Chauntae Davies, who was also then the pervert’s personal masseuse.

But fucking a hooker behind your pregnant wife's back then paying the hooker to keep her mouth shut is very legal and very cool.
Sexual assault isn't legal or cool, but then again your boy was only accused by like 17 women, and only found guilty of a few sexual assault felonies, so you're definitely going to keep trying to take the moral high ground over a consensual blow job between adults 30 years ago, because you're too stupid to see how stupid that is.
Who was found guilty of sexual assault?

Tim Kaine said today that Hegspeth cheating on his wife keeps him from holding office.
Bill Clinton cheated on his wife while in office.
Tim Kaine/Dems could have removed him from office but instead voted to not remove him.

Was it a sexual assault? Certainly his lying about the sexual relationship was impeachable, but let's not add more BS.
Tim Kaine did not accuse Hegeth of sexual assault. He just said that cheating on your wife prevented Hegspeth from holding office. And then said some shit about his daughter and wife. I can post the video link if you’d like.

So a photo with Epstein is more damning than lying under oath about sexually assaulting your intern in the Oval Office, then admitting it, getting impeached for it but having Tim Kaine and the democrats not punish for it? Oh, and also riding on Epstein plane 32 times. Sure.

Shit. I forgot Tim Kaine was Hilary’s running mate. I wonder if he felt that same about Chelsea or Hilary as he does Hegspeths wife and daughter?

Huh? Tim Kaine and the democrat senate have already voted that cheating on your spouse doesn’t not disqualify you from office. They actually approved getting blow jobs from interns wile IN the office is acceptable.
