I think the way they pushed that under Obama in a way that had nothing, zero to do with efficacy, zero to do with lethality and capability.

No.

Why not?

I love women service members who contribute amazingly.

Because everything about men and women serving together makes the situation more complicated.

And complication in combat means casualties are worse.

And when you actually go into the hood, again, and I've got response, I've got 99% positive response to this.

A few, a little bit of pushback.

But when you actually break down what they did in the studies to open the door for women in combat,

I mean, they just ignored them.

So the Marine Corps was the only service that actually tried to fight back and say, now obviously I'm exempting special operations, which thus far has held the line fairly well.

Because if they were lowering the standard to become a Navy SEAL, just to let women inside the Navy SEALs, that's going to change

the capabilities and ethos of the Navy SEALs, except for a very small example of some female super soldier who's capable of doing it.

But because of how Washington works, they're going to change the standards, they're going to push for quotas.

We have numerous quotes in the book of, no, no, these standards aren't changing, they're just evolving.

They're just evolving to meet the needs of today.

They're not getting tougher.

No.

So they're getting lower.

Take someone like Milley.
