I don't want it based on a gender or race.

I want all the barriers removed and allow them to compete fairly.

So I have the most qualified, capable individual at some of the most advanced aircraft.

Exactly.

I think you make a huge point that it's not just the individual numbers, it's the culture it is setting.

It's the messaging.

So pulling the data, I would like it to be more transparent to the public.

But one of the things I see that comes with the culture is the removal of outward facing access to information.

One of the first things that HEGSF did was shut down DACWITS, the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Service.

It was established right after women started coming in the late 40s when they had the Women Armed Services Integration Act passed.

And it was to assess and remove barriers for women in service and to help national security, national defense as we fully integrated.

And this is actually what I would consider a very conservative group that moves with slow progression, but they move steady forward.

But Pete Hexeth called them a divisive feminist agenda and shut them down.

And what they had was 75 years of data that addressed the senior leaders.

There's a whole section because they have these reports.

And now you cannot find them publicly facing.

So now you have to dig.

And then you're looking at articles and you go to that article and that article is removed.

You'll look at it.

You go on the internet and you're like, hey, I want to learn about the first female fighter pilots.
