Hegseth terminates women’s advisory group, slams ‘divisive agenda’

The Pentagon has announced plans to terminate a 75-year-old advisory committee serving female service members, citing a “divisive” and harmful agenda — days after a previous memo established plans for reactivating it.

A Sept. 17 memo signed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and reviewed by Military Times directs the “formal disestablishment” of the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services.

“After further review, I have determined that the reinstatement of the Defense Advisory Committee for Women in the Services (DACOWITS) should not proceed,” Hegseth wrote in the memo, addressed to the undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness and the director of administration and management. “The Department’s Advisory Committee Management Officer will terminate the DACOWITS in accordance with the requirements of [the Federal Advisory Committee Act]. In addition, the DACOWITS Sponsor will take appropriate action to realign resources associated with the DACOWITS, such as the reassignment of personnel, conclusion of contracts, and the archiving of DACOWITS’ records.”

A Sept. 8 memo also signed by Hegseth and reviewed by Military Times had directed the phased return to service of DACOWITS and 39 other advisory groups placed on hiatus, including the women’s advisory committee that an internal email had previously recommended for closure.

Earlier this month, the Pentagon did not respond to a request for comment about the move to keep the committee. But on Tuesday, officials provided a statement about Hegseth’s termination decision that called DACOWITS “divisive” and criticized its “agenda".

Anyone that served is ecstatic about Hegseth.  The rest of you don’t count. FYI.

The ACLU was once a non partisan defender of the constitution.  Liberals are so stupid.

DACOWITS was established by George C Marshall, who fought in WW1, served as Army Chief of Staff in WW2, and developed the Marshall Plan.

75 years later it was abolished by a drunk from Fox and Friends.

The new changes have been needed for a long time. Women and Femboys should all have to pass the same PT Standards as normal Male soldiers.
