Hegseth's toughened 'standards' meant to thin women's ranks backfire on him: report

You're exactly right:

Women in the Army Are More Likely to Be Killed by Fellow Soldiers Than Enemy Combatants

A first-of-its-kind analysis by The Intercept found that in the Army, women are more likely to be killed by their fellow service members than by enemy combatants, in a reversal of the threat soldiers are trained to face. Between 2011 and August 2025, at least 41 women died by homicide in the Army — more than half of them at the hands of other service members or veterans. Using Defense Department manpower data to calculate per capita death rates, The Intercept found that active-duty Army women face a higher risk of homicide than male soldiers, the opposite of national and global trends.

In many cases, women in the Army are killed by current or former romantic partners. Over 70 percent of victims had an intimate relationship with the perpetrator at one point, and the rate of homicides among women soldiers from intimate partner violence is at least three times higher than the national average.

24% seems low. The Invisible War goes into some horrific details about this issue.

based on feels

No, remember, when men do it, it's "instinct"; when it's women doing it, it's "feelings".

Show us your damn Nazi tats, low T Pentagone Peter Brian!

Tell the recruiter that you'll frag an officer as soon as you're given a gun

Nope. Well, not unless the fascists rig the lottery to only draft POC. Which, tbf, sounds like exactly something they would do.

The goal was to have women fail the physical fitness exam because they think women are inherently less fit than men across the board.

I work in orthopedics and rehabilitation, we see a lot of military members because we have a couple different bases in our state and only have one large medical campus close to them.

I have had more active duty military in my clinic this year than the last couple years combined. Most of them are senior NCO or older officers who have been forced to do an exercise routine that is designed to challenge people half their age.

Past a certain age, you just need more recovery time than younger people. These guys basically had desk jobs, and now they are having to exercise 5 days a week. Of course you are going to acquire a bunch of injuries in your senior ranks. Been seeing a ton of overuse injuries for the foot, ankle, and knees.

Mean it's timed and a minimum score
