Defense Secretary Hegseth Disbands Women's Military Advisory Committee Amid Controversy

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's decision to disband the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services (DACOWITS) has ignited controversy. He argues that the 74-year-old committee promotes a divisive feminist agenda that threatens military readiness. Critics express concern over the implications for women's representation and advocacy in the armed forces, as DACOWITS has historically addressed critical issues affecting women in the military.
