Hegseth announces plan to screen troops' testosterone levels

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is demanding "testosterone deficiency" testing for U.S. soldiers to ensure they're masculine enough to be a part of his anti-woke military. Hegseth unveiled the new screening, which will be mandatory for service members over the age of 30, in a video announcement Wednesday.

... "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.

Because it's well-established science that as we age, testosterone levels often, naturally, drop," Hegseth said.

Does anyone else perceive a homoerotic theme here?

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

His feels are "gimp seeks dom" vibe.

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

Is there any data that demonstrates soldiers with lower levels are at greater risk or put others at greater risk? At risk for death or injury?

He also doesnt want women so it is probably because he feels like low T men would be too much like a chick for his taste.

"The High-T Department of War."

Could a video title scream "guys with insecurity issues" any louder?

Service members have been instructed to lineup in a single file line and placed their dick through a hole in the wall.

Hegseth will personally conduct the tests.

He knows good seaman when he tastes it.
