The reality is this: diversity hires don’t belong on the battlefield. Yet that’s exactly what the Pentagon has been pushing under the left’s phony banner of inclusion. Thanks to Obama-era policies, the military has lowered physical standards to allow women into combat roles—not because they’re physically qualified, but because they check some random left-wing diversity box. These are roles that demand elite strength, grit, and life-or-death readiness—lowering the bar puts everyone at risk, and yes, even the women. And why do they do this? Simply put, it’s to appease the DEI cult that values optics and charity over safety and outcomes. They put feelings over facts and quotas over combat readiness.

How scary is that?

This calculator from the U.S. Marines shows just how devastatingly low the standards have dropped to accommodate this DEI agenda. It’s not just embarrassing—it’s dangerous.

Look:

Let’s be real—women on the front lines is a bad idea in any military. This video clip says it all:

But now, thanks to Pete Hegseth’s latest move, that dangerous trend may finally be biting the dust.

By simply enforcing universal physical standards, there will be no more watered-down requirements and no more lowered bars for DEI hires. Hegseth’s reform would disqualify about 99.999% of women from combat roles.

Not because of sexism, but because of science and physical readiness.

And honestly, that’s a win for every American who still believes our military should be built to win wars, not win diversity awards.

Here’s what Pete said on his X post:

Different physical standards for men and women in the U.S. military have existed for a long time. BUT, there were also combat roles that were male-only.

Then, under Obama, all combat roles were opened to men AND women. BUT, different physical fitness standards for men and women remained.

Today at @DeptofDefense — we fix this. All combat roles are open to men and women BUT they must all meet the same, high standard.

No standards will be lowered AND all combat roles will only have sex-neutral standards. Common sense.

Pete also put out a video that’s a must-watch:

And plenty of active-duty female soldiers actually agree with Pete’s move. Why wouldn’t they? Men and women are physically different—and that’s not a flaw; it’s a fact. Instead of ignoring it, we should be embracing it for the betterment of everybody.

Jordan Karr:

As a female veteran with an active duty sister and a veteran mom… we ALL agree with this. Women should NOT be in combat roles. I have never been in combat but I supported combat ops and the stuff I’ve seen- it’s bad. I’m not talking about COD type action- that’s expected. I’m talking deviant behavior that requires psych evals post-incident.

Men and women are different—physically, mentally, emotionally, and yes, even spiritually.

That’s not controversial. That’s reality and that’s science, which is something we’re told the left really loves.

So much has changed when it comes to our military, from lowering standards for our soldiers to the downfall of our once mighty generals. As a matter of fact, four years ago, we wrote an exclusive article on that very topic. Nowadays, as we work to Make Our Military Great Again, it’s a good idea to look back and see where some of this started to go very wrong.

Revolver:

As much as Revolver admires President Trump’s work on behalf of this country, he was not perfect, and his greatest mistake was probably the enormous deference he gave generals as a matter of course.

It was an understandable mistake, though. When Donald Trump was a boy, America had never lost a single war. The country’s World War 2 commanders were living legends who in less than four years built the U.S. military into the mightiest fighting force to ever exist and crushed powerful foes on the far side of two vast oceans.

Sadly, the generals of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria are for the most part not as venerable as their forebears. America has a great military history filled with incredibly gifted men, and the shadow they cast today only exposes the humiliating depths the U.S. military command has fallen to today. To emphasize this important contrast, Revolver would like to present four of America’s most impressive generals, and four of its worst modern ones.

Mark Milley

Let’s start off our modern list with the man of the hour himself. While Washington became the greatest man of his generation by foregoing political power, Milley embodies the modern military man with his craven pursuit of it.

By now, most Revolver readers have seen Milley’s embarrassing paean to books about “white rage.” Milley boasts that he reads books advocating radical leftism, as well as books the radical left writes about its enemies, and thus he is a splendidly well-rounded warrior and philosopher. MSNBC talking heads line up to worship him.

Of course, to anybody who isn’t hopelessly brainwashed, it’s obvious what is really going on. Milley is a political leader, not a military one, and he sees that buying into the left’s most sickening racial blood libels is a way to bolster his position and keep the military machine juiced to the maximum.

Over the past several years, Milley has repeatedly disgraced himself with grossly political behavior.

On January 6, Milley took park in a de facto coup against President Trump’s authority, bypassing the president’s commander-in-chief role to instead speak with Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Vice President Pence about how to deploy the National Guard around the Capitol. It was a move so obvious even Bill Kristol could see what was happening.

This article may be four years old, but it still holds up. You can read the full piece below.

They Don’t Make ‘Em Like They Used To: America’s Greatest Old Generals, And Their Sorry Modern Replacements

And as a general rule, women are simply not physically or emotionally suited for front-line combat. Lowering the standards to pretend they are doesn’t make our military stronger—it makes all of us weaker. It also makes everything more dangerous and less prepared. The best move is what Pete’s doing: setting one equal standard for everyone. No more DEI games. No more box-checking. Just real warriors, ready to win.
