Robert Tait of The Guardian took issue with Pete Hegseth’s beliefs regarding gays openly serving. Hegseth described this move as part of a Marxist agenda and to cater to social justice at the expense of combat effectiveness. Hegseth pointed to the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell as paving the way for transgenders to serve and for women to serve in combat roles.<\/p>\n

From The Guardian:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

He now says that inclusive and tolerant attitude was a mistake, suggesting it paved the way for admitting transgender people into the military and allowing women to serve in combat roles, from which they were barred until a 2013 reform.<\/p>\n

“It started with Clinton under ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’,” Hegseth told the conservative broadcaster, Ben Shapiro, in an interview this year in which he cited a military recruitment advertisement of a soldier with two lesbian mothers as illustrative of a shift in military culture.<\/p>\n

“At least when it was an ‘Army of One’, they were, you know, [a] tough-looking, go get ’em army,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Now you just have the absurdity of ‘I have two mommies and I’m so proud to show them that I can wear the uniform too.’ So they, it’s just like everything else the Marxists and the leftists have done. At first it was camouflaged nicely and now they’re just open about it.”<\/p>\n

Hegseth’s aversion to gay people in the military and women in combat was expressed before Trump nominated him for a cabinet position that would give him decision-making power over both policies.<\/p>\n

Interviewed this week by CNN, Hegseth — a former army national guard soldier and Fox News host — declined to say whether he still believed it was a mistake to repeal don’t ask, don’t tell.<\/p>\n

He also said he supported “all women serving in our military” — despite previously arguing that their presence led to an “erosion in standards”.<\/p>\n

Hegseth repeatedly took issue with the concept of female combatants in a chapter of his latest book titled “The (deadly) obsession with women warriors”.<\/p>\n

“I’m going to say something politically incorrect that is perfectly commonsensical observation,” he wrote. “Dads push us to take risks. Moms put the training wheels on our bike. We need moms, but not in the military, especially in combat units.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
