When it comes to men and women in the military, the truth is cut and dry: we’re not the same—and that’s a good thing.

Men and women are wired differently and trying to force this cockamamy equality, when nature has drawn very clear lines, only weakens the institutions that protect this country. Women aren’t built for the frontlines; specifically for high-stress combat decisions that demand split-second action and sheer physical endurance. That’s not an insult—it’s just reality. Women bring incredible strengths to the table, but raw aggression, physical dominance and battlefield instincts are a man’s domain and there’s nothing wrong with admitting that.

Tom Kratman’s recent thread lays it all out with brutal honesty. He exposes how military standards have been quietly dumbed down and manipulated to let women squeeze through elite programs like Ranger School… and he’s right.

During his confirmation hearing, Pete Hegseth gave Democrat Senator Gillibrand a much-needed lesson on the harsh realities of combat readiness and the role of women in the US military.

Eric Daugherty: 

🚨 SMACKDOWN: Pete Hegseth just gave Senator Kirsten Gillibrand a lesson about how the standards in the military have gone down.

GILLIBRAND: You have disparaged women in the military.

HEGSETH: I have NEVER disparaged women in the military. My critiques have been instances where standards are lowered. I spent months talking to servicemembers, all ranks. They ALL told me that the standards have been changed inside infantry training units, ranger school, infantry battalions…

GILLIBRAND: Give me ONE example.

HEGSETH: Commanders meet quotas to have a certain number of female infantry officers, or infantry enlisted. That DISPARAGES those women who are incredibly capable of meeting standards.

Pete is right. Take a look at the data:

Conservative podcaster and journalist Matt Walsh has echoed the same hard truth. He makes a powerful case for why women in the military is a dangerous experiment that ignores basic biological reality.

Matt Walsh:

This debate about whether standards are lowered for women is absolutely asinine. It is an incontrovertible fact that women are held to a lower physical standard than men in the military, police, and fire department. If they were held to the same standard, there wouldn’t be any women in any of these jobs.

While Walsh lays out the broader argument, Tom Kratman takes it a step further with firsthand accounts.

He shared his own experiences of how mixing sexes in the armed forces has led to disastrous distractions. Sure, his points might cut deep, but this isn’t about bashing women; it’s about acknowledging that, in life-or-death situations, pretending men and women are exactly the same doesn’t just lower the bar—it literally puts lives at risk.

And that’s a price no nation should be willing to pay—no matter how “progressive” some pretend it is.

Tom Kratman:

By the way, I predicted on an old http://everyjoe.com column that the Army would let one or maybe two women through Ranger School if they had to carry them through. Which, apparently, the Army did. Do you know how I knew?

Well, I not only understand the Army better than anyone I’ve ever met, barring a former 3-star who had been the Army IG, and even he was a little bit innocent about it, but I understand the politics of military life generally, for armies generally.

So, for example, the Canadians let one girl, Heather Erxleben, pass infantry training and join the Princess Pats. Why? Because if one female can pass then they can reject demands to lower standards, whereas if none passed, the feminists and the left would not stop nagging until any woman could, and no man would get the slightest benefit from going.

Thus, letting one or a very few get through Ranger School would enable the school to resist dropping standards to the point any reasonably fit woman could get through.

Tom’s not just tossing out opinions—he’s lived it. He’s seen firsthand how mixing sexes in the military doesn’t just stir up distractions—it literally opens the door to corruption and massive chaos. Here’s just a taste of what that looks like in the real world:

Tom Kratman:

From an answer to somebody, somewhat edited:

So, women in the armed forces.

One upon a time, in Eskan Village, south of Riyadh, circa December, 1990, I was privileged, if that’s quite the word, to overhear 5-6 Air Force women comparing notes on how best to set up their male bosses with a sexual harassment charge to make their own lives easier.

One of my partners in my law firm, West Point, 88, had been a lieutenant in Germany. Two of his troops out on some kind of detached mission were late returning. He asked why? Seems they’d come upon a female truck driver with a flat she couldn’t fix. She made them an offer, fix the flat for a couple of blowjobs.

Then there was, just to show that de facto prostitution can run both ways, a female spec-4 ammo clerk at Rodman ASP. Not very pretty but very nicely built. She’d give my battalion ammo it had failed to forecast if one or two of my people, often enough two, would take her out to one of the back bunkers and fuck her silly.

And then there was the investigation on some people from the old 96th CA in Honduras, where the senior NCO had made an offer to a good looking staff sergeant, BJs for good NCOERs. Her comment in the investigation report: “I need good NCOERs.”

And then one of my female recruiters, an attractive black woman, whose thing was married white guys. She made it pretty clear that while she would do enough to stay out of trouble, if I’d fuck her regularly, she’d be a star. No, I didn’t. And we made mission anyway. She ended up fucking our battalion commander and causing a divorce.

And the first sergeant of HHC USMA, in the 80s, giving false and illegal punishment in the form of BJs from the junior female EW.

Will every woman whore herself out for better treatment? No. Will every woman demand sex to perform? No. Will every man make sexual demands for better treatment? No. But the mixing of the sexes makes it very common. The only solution is NOT to mix the sexes, period.

Tom doesn’t pull any punches—and this next point proves it. His own experiences show just how messy things can get when you blur the lines between men and women in the military.

Tom Kratman:

Another little thought:

I was initially willing to give the first female graduate of Army Ranger School, which is, by the way, the living soul of the United States Army, the benefit of the doubt. And then congress subpoened the records from that class. And then the Army begged for some time. And then the Army used the time to destroy the records.

SecDef, find the colonel who ordered the records burnt. Find his boss. Find his boss, too. Then court martial them, reduce them to E1, and send the lot to play rock hockey at Leavenworth for the rest of their lives.

At the end of the day, this entire issue and Tom’s thoughts on it, aren’t about tearing women down—it’s about facing reality: Men and women are different, and that’s not just okay—it’s also a necessary function of a well-balanced society. Forcing women into roles they aren’t built for doesn’t empower anyone—on the contrary, it weakens the institutions meant to protect us. The military isn’t some social experiment; it’s a shield for this nation.

And when we start prioritizing “progress” over preparedness, we’re not just playing with politics—we’re playing with lives.
