Senator Mazie K. Hirono @hirono.senate.gov · 30/07/2026
That's why I'm introducing the WARRIOR Act alongside @duckworth.senate.gov and our Democratic colleagues. To do what Pete Hegseth won't: strengthen our military by ensuring that every servicemember is judged on their ability, not their gender. 19thnews.org/2026/07/wome...

Women have served in combat for a decade. Lawmakers want to protect that right.
“As far as I’m concerned, the only person who doesn’t think that women should have the opportunity to serve in these roles is Hegseth,” said Sen. Mazie Hirono, a lead sponsor of a new bill.

For 10 years now, women have met and exceeded what Hegseth calls “the highest male standards” and what infantry soldiers call “the standards.” Hegseth continues to look for any excuse to remove women from a role he failed at - even if he has to rig the study. thewarhorse.org/women-in-com...

Hegseth keeps changing his study to get the conclusions he wants. “This study has already been done,” said Rep. Chrissy Houlahan. “We know that women who serve continue to perform and meet the same standards in ground combat as their male colleagues.” thewarhorse.org/women-in-com...

When Hegseth fired top JAGs last year, “His message was clear: ‘The law & lawyers should have little influence over the military & its operations’.” His latest moves continue that effort. Meanwhile 600 JAGs are supporting DoJ (?!?!)

“They’re doing this now because it is no secret that Secretary Hegseth has a strong desire to marginalize women in the military…(Hegseth) carries his religious views into his professional duties, and his religious views are that women do not lead and men do not submit to women.”

“When Admirals lectured us on judgment and ethics, I could detect the checks and balances in the subtext of their speeches and felt reassured. This is not the message the Secretary of War is sending today. Hegseth’s subtext says something more like: shut up and don’t you dare challenge us.”
