Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is taking decisive action to restore America's military dominance by ordering a comprehensive Pentagon review of women serving in ground combat roles, marking a dramatic shift away from the Obama-era social engineering that prioritized political correctness over battlefield effectiveness.

The Pentagon memo, obtained by multiple sources, calls for an immediate review of the "effectiveness" of current policies allowing women in ground combat units - a move that has patriots celebrating and leftist woke warriors scrambling to defend their failed social experiment with our nation's defense.

Lethality Over Liberal Politics

"Maintaining the most lethal military is the only consideration. Women were not placed in ground combat roles to ensure the most lethal military," one social media user noted, perfectly capturing the stark reality that progressive politicians have ignored for years while playing games with American lives.

Hegseth has already announced new requirements for all troops, including "gender-neutral" or "male-level" fitness standards - a common-sense approach that acknowledges biological reality instead of pretending men and women are physically identical. This isn't about discrimination; it's about acknowledging that men are measurably larger, stronger, faster, with greater endurance and resistance to trauma than women.

"The Pentagon will begin reviewing what it calls the 'effectiveness' of women serving in ground combat roles, according to a memo. Pete Hegseth previously announced requirements for troops, including 'gender-neutral' or 'male-level' fitness standards," Fox 11 News reported.

For too long, America's military has been weakened by Obama-Biden policies that treated our armed forces like a progressive social laboratory rather than the world's most elite fighting force. While China and Russia focused on building lethal militaries, Democrats forced our troops to attend diversity seminars and lowered standards to meet woke quotas.

Restoring Military Excellence

Hegseth's review represents exactly the kind of no-nonsense leadership President Trump promised when he tapped the combat veteran to lead the Pentagon. After years of military recruitment crises and declining readiness under woke leadership, it's time to put America's security ahead of progressive feelings.

The question isn't whether women can serve with distinction in our military - they absolutely can and do in countless critical roles. The question is whether we're going to let political correctness override the biological realities that could mean life or death for our warriors downrange. Under Hegseth's leadership, the answer is finally clear: America's safety comes first.

FINALLY! Someone with the backbone to prioritize actual military effectiveness over political correctness. As a 20-year Army veteran, I've seen firsthand how these policies have weakened unit cohesion and lowered standards across the board.

Thank you for your service! My son is currently deployed and he's mentioned similar concerns about lowered physical standards.

About time we got back to basics - our military should be focused on winning wars, not social experiments. What specific roles is Hegseth looking to review first?
