Amy McGrath on CNN International– Women's Role in the Military

On Veterans Day, retired Marine fighter pilot and Senate candidate Amy McGrath joins The Exchange to reflect on service, sacrifice, and what it truly means to take an oath to the Constitution. McGrath discusses her experience as one of the first women to fly combat missions in an F/A-18, how opportunities for women in the military have evolved, and why recent political rhetoric about “lowered standards” is misleading and harmful.

She speaks candidly about the value women bring to the armed forces, the importance of maintaining truth and integrity in discussions about military readiness, and the need to respect all who serve. This is a thoughtful and powerful conversation about service, leadership, and the America our veterans deserve.


About Amy:
Amy McGrath has over 20 years of service. She flew 89 combat missions, led Marines in some of the toughest places on earth, and served at the Pentagon and on Capitol Hill, working to shape America’s national security. Everywhere Amy has served, one principle has guided her: mission first, people always.

And now she’s fighting for Kentucky families once again with the same grit and determination as a candidate for Senate. Kentuckians deserve someone battle-tested and ready to fight for them on day one.
