Praise be to God, it looks like Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has finally restored a shred of sanity to the military. After what felt like an eternity of political correctness and misguided priorities, he’s reintroduced some much-needed common sense with new—well, actually, old—requirements for combat readiness. You know, the kind that actually matter. It’s almost like he’s taking the military back to basics, reminding us that the primary mission isn’t to be a social experiment but to be a fighting force ready for battle. This was one of the key promises he made, and credit where it’s due—he followed through. So, hats off to Hegseth for doing what was long overdue: putting the focus back where it belongs.
Once upon a time, I served in the Navy, and yes, even back in 1985, there were different standards for physical fitness requirements. But let’s be clear—my job was administrative support, nowhere near the front lines of a battle group. I proudly served in the United States Navy and spent my entire enlistment stationed in Washington, D.C. No combat missions for me, and honestly, that was fine by me as a woman. I wasn’t looking to see combat, but I was more than ready to contribute behind the scenes at the heart of the action. While I wasn’t out there in the thick of the fight, I was still playing my part in supporting the mission.
There is only one reason this is even an issue: in 2013, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta opened ground combat positions to women. In the social Petri dish environment the Obama administration created in the military, by 2015, women were forcibly graduated from Ranger School.

All I can say is thank you Pete Hegseth, sir.
Restoring Military Integrity
Barack Obama and his administration, followed by the old man who came after him, have watered down our military and weakened it beyond recognition. It’s not just about Leon Panetta opening up combat roles to women—though that alone set a troubling precedent—it’s also about the chaos they’ve introduced with the push to ‘trans’ our military. You’ve seen the videos, right? The ones showcasing the absurdity of what’s happening? This isn’t about equality or fairness anymore; it’s about dismantling the very essence of what makes the military strong.
So, if you’re banned from a group these days, what’s the go-to move? You head to court, of course. But here’s my question: Why on earth would you want to belong to something that clearly doesn’t want you in the first place?
And speaking of persistence, remember this gem from the Navy when recruitment was down?
Yeah, I can totally see how this is going to send thousands rushing to the recruiting office. Because nothing screams ‘join the Navy’ quite like a drag queen representing military service. Forget about discipline, honor, or defending the nation—this is the kind of thing that’s really going to draw in those young recruits. I’m sure the idea of serving their country while trying to outdo a performance on RuPaul’s Drag Race is exactly what every patriot has been waiting for. Who wouldn’t want to trade in their dreams of military camaraderie for a front-row seat to this show? A+ for effort, Navy, but maybe stick to the basics next time.
