@cbsnews: Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, a New Hampshire Democrat, questioned Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump's pick for defense secretary, over his view that women should not serve in combat roles, which he has attempted to walk back in recent weeks. "Women in our military, as I have said publicly, have and continue to make amazing contributions across all aspects of our battlefield," Hegseth said. "I appreciate your eleventh hour conversion," Shaheen said after she pressed him further. #news #politics #congress #newhampshire

When I was active duty Marine Corps, women had to run a 1.5 mile pft, whereas men had to run 3 miles, for the same score. I think that the standards should be the same, especially for combat roles

I'm 5'1 120lbs- there is no way I can successfully pick up/keep up with a male double my size and weight. The team would be compromised if a member can't do what everyone else can.

I'm 5'8 and 130lbs, my marine corp husband is 6'4 and 200lbs. I absolutely CANNOT move him with his full gear on, I have tried! He doesn't need/want someone my size to move his lifeless body to safety
