@cnn: In a speech in front of hundreds of generals and admirals, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that US military service members in combat jobs will have to meet “this highest male standard only."
As a woman vet, he absolutely hates women who serve. Him thinking women can’t meet standards for combat yet he can’t put down a bottle if he tried

How is it gender neutral, if they follow men standards only? So if men do 12 chin ups and women do 8, then the correct answer should be they each have to do 10 for men and 10 for women. This is gender neutral. This would make it fair as this would be the average.

Does he understand that almost no combat is done hand to hand anymore? Almost everything is fought by drones, vehicles, or at a very long distance. Does this guy think we live in Ancient Rome?

If it’s gender neutral, why are we using “the highest male standard?”
