Hegseth, a Fox News commentator, has expressed skepticism about women in front-line positions, which has drawn criticism from advocates for gender equality in the military. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, in contrast, has emphasized that women in the military make the force stronger. The debate touches on broader issues of military readiness, gender roles, and equality in the armed forces.
