Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Wednesday that the Pentagon will begin requiring annual testosterone deficiency screenings for active-duty service members age 30 and older, saying the move is designed to improve military readiness and support long-term health.
The new policy, unveiled in a video posted to X, will make testosterone testing a standard part of the military’s existing annual periodic health assessments for troops over 30. Service members younger than 30 will have the option to receive the screening voluntarily.
“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,” Hegseth said in the video.
And it’ll never be enough, and he seems to have the power to just refuse to grow up. Spiralling out in a desperate attempt to not look himself in the mirror, until they invent a kind of Space Marine that lives for three months before melting into a narcotic soup - grafted with a dozen bear testicles, fed a dozen steaks an hour, with an ethanol fuel cell, and a massive codpiece.
