There is a discussion about the role of women in combat positions in the military, with some arguing that women should meet the same standards as men. The defense secretary, referred to as Pete Hegseth in some reports, is involved in the issue, with some outlets suggesting he wants to implement a "male standard" for combat roles. The pentagon is set to review the effectiveness of women in ground combat positions, but there is disagreement over the implications of this review and the current standards for women in combat.
