SERIOUSLY??? TESTOSTERONE??
… Hegseth: “Our most decisive tactical advantage will always be the individual warfighter. We have a sacred duty to maintain that advantage. This will be a High-T Department of War. It’s about restoring and optimizing your natural capability.”
… “Hegseth’s focus on testosterone levels at a moment when US forces are ramping up attacks in Iran is unorthodox. Defense secretaries typically focus on larger strategic questions, involving alliances, war and weapons production.”
… Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) on MS NOW: Q - “Your thoughts on this program to screen for testosterone deficiency and your thoughts on Pete Hegseth priorities?
Duckworth: Well, it sounds like gender affirming care to me. So I'm glad he has come around to supporting gender affirming care.”
… Duckworth: “Frankly, this is just more performative bullshit from the least qualified secretary of defense in our nation's history. He's failing at the war in Iran. He has no strategy. He has no plan. He needs to be focused on that and less on testosterone.”
