FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—The Department of War is discontinuing a committee criticized for pushing feminism in the military, according to a memo obtained by The Daily Signal. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth signed the memo saying he has determined that the reinstatement of the Defense Advisory Committee for Women in the Services should not proceed. This includes $485,000 in expenses and $643,000 in Defense Department labor. DACOWITS was disbanded in 2021, but President Joe Biden’s Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin formally reinstated DACOWITS the next year. “You just need to be able to meet the standard.”[Editor’s note: This story originally was published by The Daily Signal.]
