Female military recruitment surges with 7,260 more women enlisting in fiscal year 2025 compared to last year, bringing total to nearly 24,000 according to Pentagon data.
"The media’s narrative that the female recruitment numbers have either fallen or stayed the same under Secretary Hegseth and President Trump is 100% Fake News," a defense official said. "Leadership matters and women are excited to serve under the strong leadership of Secretary Hegseth and President Trump."
