President-elect Donald Trump's pick to head up the Department of Defense is Fox News host Pete Hegseth, a combat veteran who won two bronze stars and graduated from Princeton and Harvard. However, Hegseth was recently on the "Shawn Ryan Show" and gave his stance on women in combat roles. "I'm straight up saying we shouldn't have women in combat roles," Hegseth said. Some women who have served in combat roles have responded to those comments. "Quite honestly, would I want my daughter to be in combat? Probably not," said Danville native Jennifer Hughes, who served in the United States Air Force for 25 years, before retiring two years ago. Hughes won't say if she agrees or disagrees with Hegseth's position on women in combat roles. She herself has served in a combat zone in 2006 as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
