Miss DC USA Just Made a Powerful Statement for Women in the Military at Miss USA 2016

Miss District of Columbia USA, Deshauna Barber, is a commander is the United States army. When asked at the 2016 Miss USA pageant how she felt about the Pentagon's decision to open all combat roles to women, she made it clear: Women are just as strong as men.

"Gender doesn't limit us," Barber said.

Miss DC USA was asked by judge No. 2 if political correctness is being put above the military's ability to perform at the highest level. After giving some excellent side-eye at the mere suggestion women were somehow less capable than men in the military, she proceeded to slay her answer.

"As a woman in the United States army, I think it was an amazing job by our government to allow women to integrate into every branch of the military. We are just a tough as men. As a commander of my unit, I am powerful, I am dedicated and it is important that we recognize that gender doesn't limit us in the United States Army," Barber said.

Twitter immediately crowned her the winner and was loving her killer confidence.

Let those boys know, queen.
