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

Voiced praise for Waterboarding.

Why am I attracted to older men?

12 women in this picture have 775 confirmed Nazi kills.

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

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

Do countries with free health care generally have co-pays or deductibles to discourage use?

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.

Taking a bit more serious tone:

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

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

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

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

Addendum:

Have you ever secretly watched someone while they were doing something private?

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.

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.

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

If a person stops thinking one or two words in a second or half second means he had stopped thinking for half second?

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

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”,

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.

How does prayer impact those in need? Is there evidence that God intervenes and improves situations based on our prayers, or is it a psychological belief?

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.

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.

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.

What are some other ways to respond to someone saying "thank you" besides "de rien" or "vous êtes bienvenue"?

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.

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

Moderate liberals, if any use leftist Quora, how do you feel about being associated with those who enjoy burning American flags, supporting Hamas, having men competing against women in sports, open borders, green new deal and general wokery?
