He's so hyper focused on manliness, that thing he utterly lacks.

How about soldiers just get quick acess to the healthcare they need when they need it both in the military and out of it whatever it may be, even for some gender affirming care like testosterone for men 😂

I’ve never known a man so obsessed with other men’s testicals. He invented the test. It’s an oral examination. It’s called Peter taste test. It comes with a complementary prostrate exam. He doesn’t want any Steven Millers in his war plans.

And a side note, he looks TIRED. That makes me happy 😊

I am an Army Veteran from a family FULL of Veterans and I have NEVER seen a Secretary of Defense act like this. Hegseth is so pathetic.

Only someone who has very low testosterone would even think of this.

This guy’s obvious eagerness and enthusiasm for starting wars and killing people is unsettling. Secretary of War Crimes.

Here is a man completely insecure with his own masculinity.

Looking at all the videos coming out of Ukraine of individual Russian soldiers being chased by drones, terror on their faces, shooting wildly behind them as the POV camera comes closer and closer until the video ends abruptly, and then thinking to myself “this wouldn’t have happened if he wasn’t low T!”

How about drug and alcohol screening for the one at the top first? No eyeliner and no makeup rooms.
@
So he's promoting gender affirming care.
@
Is this a joke?

I assume a lot of politicians are going to be buying stock in whatever testosterone replacement manufacturer the military contracts with before announcing the contract to the public.
@
This is objectively funny 😅

Are they going to offer similar hormonal testing & health services for active female military members?. Probably not.

Who's gonna tell him that excess testosterone can cause boob growth?
@
Grinder has a great testosterone replacement program....but you already knew that..

Is this an Onion story, or a SNL sketch?
