Has anyone here actually read anything Hegseth published? The War On Warriors is a great book, controversial only in that his criticisms were centered on decisions that reduced battlefield effectiveness and not politics, which given the decline in the US military, still underscored that stupidity, greed and partisan politics were directly to blame, and names got named in both parties.
The book is explicit in his criticism of deployment of women in the combat arms; army infantry, speifically, and his assertions are 100% correct and completely uncontroversial except for within political context. The cost (and decline) in readiness, effectiveness and lethality is significant, with army infantry studies the most numerous.
Worth reading, though a bit depressing.
