Do you agree with Pete Hegseth's comment that Obama created a moral divide between military and civilian life?

If these are the kinds of military moral divides Hegseth has argued against, I suggest he wake up in the 21st Century.

I’ve since (in a couple of days) read a bit more about Hegseth’s background and views. The article I read addressed a controversy about a tatoo as being associated with a right wing Christian Nationalist group which espouses a goal of incorporating Old Testament rules into American life and American laws.

Nineteen countries permit women in most combat roles. Similarly the only developed nation which excludes gays from their military is South Korea.

Is there a reason why many men give up on dating and relationships? Is the dating scene difficult for them?

Since the Hegseth bio says he was a Platoon Leader in the Minnesota National Guard, I would view Hegseth’s understanding of the moral divide as seriously as I would Gomer Pyle’s platoon Sergeant.

I would imagine the “moral divide” refers to the acceptance of gays in the military, but I’ve seen no evidence that this is what the OP or Hegseth may be referring to.

This shows his desire for “moral equivalence” between the military and civilian US is very different from what many average Americans would regard as “moral”. Regarding Hegseth’s views of “morality”,

Was there any slavery of white people that actually compares to the transatlantic slave trade? I’m not baiting or anything actually genuinely curious and want to know.

My first reaction to this is confusion and astonishment. But then, I recall that Hegseth was a Fox commentator and I imagine all manner of incomprehensible crap being on the menu.

Regarding moral concerns about using nuclear weapons said “Who cares - they lost” about the Japanese.

WTF was he talking about? I’ve never seen a linkage of morality between the military and civilian life. Soldiers are regularly asked to do things which are immoral in a civilian context, and ALWAYS HAVE HAD A MORAL DIVIDE.

Should parents force their kids to go to school when they are sick?

I’ve heard that he is opposed to Women in combat roles. While many changes occured in military doctrine under Obama, these are not really attributed to Obama but to changes in our society more broadly. Women admitted to military academies. Women admitted to combat roles based on demonstrated fitness for such service, and based in part on womens’ own determination to seek service in those kinds of roles. These are an outgrowth of women’s own desires to break out of traditional roles as restrictive and the fact that those women want to explore their own personal capabilities and stretch traditional boundaries of womanhood.

Taking a bit more serious tone:

What is an appropriate response to someone saying "merci" in French?

Plenty of women have proven they are capable of serving in combat with honor and distinction. Service members such as Tammy Duckworth heroicly being injured in combat, losing both legs and doing so with the same honor and courage as men. She was co-piloting a Blackhawk helicopter when hit by a rocket propelled grenade. She was awarded the Purple Heart, Air Medal, and Air Force Commendation Medal, but none of this was under Obama. In 2004, she was wounded in service to the Bush administration.

Has advocated fewer benefits for injured Veterans because long term support for injured Veterans is “contrary to an Ethos of service”.

Why was the rock band Kiss so successful?

12 women in this picture have 775 confirmed Nazi kills.

Is twice divorced for Infidelity, after fathering a child with a Fox News coworker while married, and has indicated sex with unconscious women is not rape. Further, a woman who alleged Hegseth raped her while she was unconscious has been paid off to sign an NDA, like Trump himself.

Regarding his “moral divide”, as stated in the original question, Hegseth has:

Urged President Trump in his first term to pardon soldiers accused of war crimes (shooting unarmed civilians).

A more reasoned approach IF I TOOK THIS QUESTION SERIOUSLY (which I do not) would be to research a little.

Does eating bread before bed make you fat? If so, why?

Voiced praise for Waterboarding.

Addendum:

Did he actually say it? When and in what context?
