Pete Hegseth Fat-Dames Top Frass of soldiers while the world burns

Ukraine and Gaza. China and North Korea. Iran and Russia. There was so much to address Tuesday when 800 generals, admirals and their senior leaders enlisted in the US military were ordered in one place around the world in a short time.
The sudden meeting in Quantico, Virginia, was called by the defense secretary Pete Hegseth. And it was an unprecedented event for unprecedented times, but not in the way anyone imagined. Hegseth aimed at the size of the crowded room, proclaiming that he no longer wanted to see “big generals and admirals” or overweight troops.
“Frankly, it’s tiring to watch the combat training, or really any training, and to see big troops,” he said to the 800 souls probably amazed at the room. “Likewise, it is completely unacceptable to see large generals and admirals in the corridors of the heads of the Pentagon across the country and the world.”
Flanked by a bodily president Trump, he proclaimed: “It’s a bad look. It’s bad, and it is not who we are.”

Like a sweet donut, hypocrisy was too tempting to pass. California Governor’s account Gavin Newsom published: “I guess the commander -in -chief must go!” Newsom also juxtaposed a clip for HegSeth’s speech with a photo of Trump in a McDonald’s restaurant, the president’s stomach exceeding on the belt line of his pants.
The former Fox News personality became secretary to defense initially gave no reason last month when he summoned leaders stationed around the world to attend the meeting, causing concern and a conjecture among military officials and the congress on the objective of the meeting. Trump told NBC that they would deliver a “good message” on “to be in great shape, to talk about many good positive things”.
This new “positive” messaging? Closing the restrictions on the hazing of recruits from the start -up camp, hardening grooming standards (more “beardos”), eliminating racial quotas and increasing physical standards for everyone in uniform at a “male level”.
“I do not want my son to serve alongside troops which are out of shape, or in a combat unit with women who cannot meet the same physical combat standards as men, or troops which are not fully competent on their weapons, platform or assigned task, or under a chief who was the first but not the best,” said Hegseth on Tuesday.
He added that the troops will have to respect the levels of fitness “non -sexist, standards and standards, have obtained a score of 70%”. “If that means that no woman qualifies for certain combat jobs, too bad,” he said. But everything will be ashamed of fat on an equal level.
“Today, in my direction, each member of the joint force, at each rank, is necessary to take a PT [physical training] Test twice a year, as well as meet the size and weight requirements twice a year, each year of service, “he said.
Hegseth’s obsession to appear torn and Manly is nothing new. The 45 -year -old man challenged the 71 -year -old health and social services secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., with fitness tests in which men do 50 pull -ups and 100 pumps in 10 minutes or less.
The “Pete and Bobby Challenge”, as HegSeth calls it, was published on the Official Account of Youtube HHS and has widely disseminated on social networks.
Hegseth’s deep message to the troops keeping America in safety: “It all starts with physical form and appearance. If the war secretary can make regular and hard PT, all members of our joint force can also. ”
Hegseth has repeatedly stressed that the requirements of fitness updated for troops are part of a larger effort to achieve a “warrior philosophy” in the American army. Uncle Sam wants you! But not before dropping this BMI below 24.9.
