Trump's Controversial Defense Picks Signal Major Military Overhaul

Female veterans express concern over President-elect Donald Trump's defense secretary pick, Pete Hegseth, who has criticized women serving in combat roles.

Veterans fear this could undermine progress and exacerbate existing issues like sexual harassment in the military. Critics, including veterans and politicians, argue that gender should not determine military capability and emphasize the importance of diversity in the armed forces.
