Jeannette Garcia @Jnet_margarita - As a disabled female combat veteran who served on an Army Female Engagement Team and worked alongside infantry and special forces during my deployment to Afghanistan, I fully support @PeteHegseth speech today in standards.
DEI policies have weakened our military,
In January 2012, I participated in a mission where I was the only female in the team, supported by my interpreter. When we arrived at the village, it was eerily quiet. As teams entered from various directions, they were stopped by IEDs. My team found an IED and had to wait for EOD support. I was assisting with rear security when my interpreter, fatigued, stepped away to rest and unfortunately triggered an IED. The blast threw me to the ground, and all I could hear was the ringing in my ears and her screams. I quickly got back on my feet and, with my commanding officer, began providing life-saving care. She lost one leg, and the other was barely hanging on. A fellow soldier also lost his eyesight from shrapnel.
I share this experience, though I have others, to emphasize that I have skin in the game and I stand behind Pete’s views on female service members and physical standards.
Secretary of Wars leadership is exactly what our military needs - we need standards not suggestions!

"Standards must be met... it's common sense and core to who we are and what we do."
