Female servicemember reacts to Pete Hegseth's comments about 'lower' standards for women in military

Earlier this week, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth called a meeting with hundreds of top U.S. military leaders and President Donald Trump. Among the many controversial, headline-making comments Hegseth uttered in his speech had to do with female servicemembers. He said the U.S. military has lowered its standards to accommodate women, putting lives at risk, and announced 10 new directives he says will bring the military back to a higher level. "Our female officers and NCOs are the absolute best in the world," Hegseth said in his remarks. "But when it comes to any job that requires physical power to perform in combat, those physical standards must be high and gender neutral. If women can make it, excellent. If not, it is what it is. If that means no women qualify for some combat jobs, so be it." FOX 11's Marlo Lundak sat down with Master Sergeant Jennifer Holder, who serves in the U.S. Army Reserves 86th Training Command, to get her reaction to Hegseth's comments. As a non-commissioned officer, or NCO, Holder ensures soldiers going through training exercises have all the support they need. Her 18-year military career also includes many years working in civil affairs. She's been deployed to Europe twice to serve in support roles.
