... "Today, I'm authorizing a new screening program for testosterone deficiency for our service members -- ensuring you have the right testosterone levels to operate at your absolute best.

I want to hear the medical basis for determining this "therapy" effective to erect masculinity from Hegseth.

I've never had my testosterone level checked. I'm 57
