I just think that like, I said it a long time ago, there has got to be some level of accountability. The accountability has got to be equal and it can't be this good old boy club that everybody is overlooking in the aspect of it. Like I'm in, I'm in, let's just hold them accountable. Like, like if you mess up,

But the same level that you're going to hold this private who goes out and does something wrong or loses their rifle. Like, I just don't understand why a general like, you know, a general isn't held to the same standard as, you know, a Lance Corporal and gets in trouble. And it's just no way that anybody in the military will say that that is not the case.

I think it doesn't matter what Pete said today. I don't think it was going to matter. I don't think if he had said one way or the other, I don't think any of it really mattered. It was all about them getting their talking points out and their show out. I mean, the women in combat thing, like me and Pete, I told Pete on the phone that, you know, my what he what he is.

I think he clarified today for me. He clarified today initially what I'd heard, like small snippets. Right. Of, you know, which talking points or whatever has been spun out. Is, you know, no women in combat or I don't support women in combat. Right. But what you heard him today is clarify is like, no, look, I think I add an opportunity, but like the standard has got to be a standard.

We cannot change up the physical demands. You can't sit here and you can't mitigate. You can't overlook those, nor can you tailor those, uh, the physical demands that boots on the ground. Yeah. I'm better roles are going to require. And it's not it's not gender based. It is it is the job based. And so I think when he clarified that up today, I 100 percent agree with that aspect of it. Right.

I, you know, I 100 percent agree with that, because to be honest with you, Megan, like I have seen women that could outperform some of the men that go to combat next to me. Right. And so when it comes to that aspect of it. I have watched I have watched women who deserve to be in combat more than some of the guys that I've been in gunfights with and that I'd rather take them anyways. Right.

So I just don't I don't get wrapped up into that aspect of it. Like meet the standard. Like go meet the standard. Can you lead people? Can you meet the standard? Can you go out and perform and can you be professional about it? Right. Because that is that is what it's about. And I think that that's what Pete portrayed today. I'm so glad he got to clarify that and he got to.
