Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth publicly criticized the Women, Peace & Security program, mistakenly labeling it a leftist initiative, when it's an important bipartisan law from the Trump administration aimed at incorporating women's roles in security efforts. Despite Hegseth's derogatory remarks, military leaders, including Gen. Dan Caine, have praised the program for its effectiveness in enhancing operations using female personnel to communicate with local women and children. The legislation was co-written by Congress members across party lines, highlighting its operational value and bipartisan support, contrary to Hegseth's assertions.
Hegseth's claim that the Women, Peace & Security program was a feminist initiative overlooks its bipartisan roots in legislation signed by Trump, recognizing women's roles in security.
General Caine emphasized that female service members contributed significantly to understanding local dynamics, thus enhancing the effectiveness of military operations in combat zones.
