How can we help them do their jobs better? And how do we develop body armor that fits women's bodies? Because that's been a big problem is that small body armor, which is issued often to women, is designed for a small male body. The bottom was so heavy and didn't fit, it would clank up against my hips and it would cause bruises on my ribs.
And then the Pentagon basically removed all of the members of some 40-plus defense advisory committees. There are these basically independent committees that advise the Secretary of Defense on everything from R&D to how the military handles sexual assault.
I think there's a chance that it will be sort of reconsidered later on. But a lot of this really, for the most part, is the secretary's prerogative. He can stand up or dismantle these committees. He has a lot of decision-making authority.
He can direct the military branches to do X, Y, Z. I think a lot of the concerns people are having now is that these big questions, like women in combat, are going to be addressed without sort of the independent study and counsel that have historically accompanied big decisions in the military.
Hegseth and military leadership are focusing on sort of small culture wars questions rather than some of the big questions that are facing the military.
And I think, you know, one thing that I've heard is that Hegseth talks a lot about lethality and the importance of lethality and that sort of woke, quote unquote, woke culture in the military is undermining lethality, but they haven't really seen a definition of what lethality is. I think a lot of people in the military would like to get a clearer understanding of how he defines lethality.
