US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has sparked controversy regarding women's roles in the military, particularly his past statements against female combat troops. During his Senate confirmation, he faced criticism from Senator Gillibrand, who accused him of undermining female service members. Hegseth's stance includes a demand for high standards for combat roles for women, alongside his intent to remove so-called 'woke' policies from the military. This issue parallels discussions in India, where a letter from a general criticized women in command positions, reigniting debates on gender dynamics within military structures.
During his Senate confirmation hearing, Hegseth faced accusations from Senator Gillibrand for "denigrating" female service members, highlighting a polarizing debate on gender roles in the military.
Hegseth's comments advocating for the removal of 'woke' policies like diversity and inclusion, suggest a contentious shift in military culture that may affect women's roles and representation.
