"None of us have ever asked for special treatment," Elisa Cardnell, who served in the US Navy for 11 years, told the BBC. Speaking to hundreds of generals on Tuesday, Hegseth reiterated his beliefs that the military had lowered standards to accommodate women and put service members at risk. His new directives will bring them back to a higher level, he said. "If it means no women qualify for combat jobs, then so be it," he said." ** Be part of the Dragon Squad as a YouTube channel member: http://go.tyt.com/join-tdr Follow The Damage Report on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheDamageReportTYT/ Help build the Home of the Progressives http://tyt.com/JOIN Subscribe to The Damage Report YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/thedamagereport?sub_confirmation=1 Foll...
