The former Fox News commentator has made it clear, in his own book and in interviews, that he believes men and women should not serve together in combat units. If Hegseth is confirmed by the Senate, he could try to end the Pentagon’s nearly decade-old practice of making all combat jobs open to women.
“I’m straight up just saying we should not have women in combat roles. It hasn’t made us more effective. Hasn’t made us more lethal. Has made fighting more complicated,” he said in a podcast hosted by Shawn Ryan on Nov. 7. Women have a place in the military, he said, just not in special operations, artillery, infantry and armor units.
“Who’s going to replace them? Men? And we’re having trouble recruiting men into the Army right now,” said Lory Manning, a retired Navy captain who works with the Service Women’s Action Network.
We’re going back…
Back? Backwards? Or forwards to the China front line?
To the 1950s.
More like 1880s
That’s cute. You think the front line will be in China.
Taiwan is “china” depending on your definition.
Where do you think the front line will be for WWIII?
Philadelphia.
That’s a civil war, hehe. And also a very real possibility.
Eastern Europe, probably, but who knows. It won’t be in any nuclear-armed countries (not for any significant amount of time, in any case) because that would provoke nuclear retaliation.
Big place, “Eastern Europe”
I mean… Yeah.

pastes link to map, gestures broadly
I can’t tell if you’re just pretending to not get it - but the “eastern front” in WWII was “gestures broadly at eastern Europe”. It was a world war. The scale was huge. If there was as new world war the front would be similarly massive.
