lol, I know some female cross country ski racers that I'd put my money on, in absolutely any type of physical contest with anybody that posts on this board.
If they can perform, that's fine. What Hegseth was saying was that everyone has to be PQ, by the same male standard. No fatties. No weaklings. No "short tee" for women.
The policy he stated was much more blatant wrt "DEI". In practice, every officer who approves a promotion for anyone other than a white man, can expect to be called in by his superior to justify promoting that person, over a white man, and these inquiries will probably reflect on that officer's fitness report. But, if he promotes a white man, and a woman or POC complains, their complaint will be brushed off with "he wants to be a DEI hire". Path of least resistance will be to promote only white men.
