"Critical Race Theory, diversity ideology, radical feminism, and other woke nonsense are devastating military lethality and readiness. Even though the beginnings of this trend go back decades, the denial of the differences between the sexes, and the more radical outgrowths of those false ideas, have become more intense than ever. As the army of Communist China seeks to make its soldiers more masculine, our army seeks to attract more women and fewer men. This trend has been chronicled, and its grave damage explained, by Brian Mitchell (Women in the Military, 1998), Stephanie Gutmann (The Kinder, Gentler Military, 2000), Robert L. Maginnis (Deadly Consequences, 2013), and James Hasson (Stand Down, 2019). The argument against women in combat roles, and in-theater combat support roles, is simply overwhelming.

We can no longer be squeamish about identifying those parts of the armed forces where the presence of women damages unit cohesion, lethality, and readiness. The Defense Department should be led by people who understand this and will push back on policies that have no factual basis, but are grounded in pure leftist ideology. The White House legislative operation needs that kind of wisdom as well."

 

Amen.  Excellent article calling it like it is.
