Pete Hegseth Is Right—Women Deserve Better Than the Front Lines

Sara Sneath—a former Marine turned MSNBC mouthpiece—is doing everything she can to undermine Pete Hegseth. She is arguing that it’s not fair for women to be taken out of frontline combat and that the new standards fail to recognize that women would likely perform better than men in events aimed at gauging flexibility and endurance (MSNBC).

But let’s call this what it really is: a hit piece that mocks reality and gaslights truth.

When Hegseth said it was time to “rebuild the warrior ethos” in the military, he wasn’t taking a cheap shot at women—he was restoring sanity. Hegseth is pushing for a military that returns to “standards that acknowledge biological realities” and to stop forcing women into roles they were never designed to carry (MSNBC).

And he’s exactly right.

As a woman who weight trains every single day—deadlifts, squats, military presses—and hikes rugged Tennessee hills for hours, I know firsthand what maximum effort looks like. I push myself harder than most women I know. But no matter how strong I become, there is a biological ceiling. The facts don’t lie: men’s muscle mass, bone density, and combat endurance are naturally superior. God made it that way—and He told us plainly: women are “the weaker vessel” (1 Peter 3:7, Bible Gateway).

God also gave men an innate instinct to protect women at all costs—which completely throws off combat protocols. You can’t be distracted by the weaker soldier next to you when you’re in a firefight. You’re not there to nurture—you’re there to fight. And whether the Left likes it or not, that instinct isn’t going away. Nor should it.

Sneath tried to smear Hegseth by calling his efforts “a MAGA makeover of military priorities” (MSNBC). But here’s the truth: when you erase natural differences, you don’t empower women—you endanger them. Combat is not theoretical. It’s not about “fairness” or “representation.” It’s about who survives when seconds count and bullets fly. God wired men to protect women, not compete with them for who can carry a 200-pound wounded soldier off a battlefield.

And let’s be honest about something else nobody wants to say out loud: when men and women are kept in close quarters over long periods of time, it eventually becomes a sexually charged environment. There’s no place for that on the battlefield. It compromises the mission, the focus, and the discipline needed to win. And frankly, it’s why I believe gay men shouldn’t even be in combat units either—but let’s table that issue for now.

Sneath also mocked Hegseth’s call to stop “lowering the bar for inclusion” and to focus again on lethality (MSNBC). But she misses the point entirely. When life and death hang in the balance, nobody cares about political correctness. They care about victory—and survival.

A fortified military doesn’t shame women. It honors them. It allows them to serve in roles that reflect their true strength without putting them—or the mission—at unnecessary risk. When we follow God’s order, everybody benefits. When we rebel against it, people die.

Pete Hegseth isn’t trying to tear down women. He’s trying to save them.

And thank God for that.
