Missionary Man

“Pete Hegseth wants a manly military. And he really, really wants you to know how badly he wants a manly military. In his 2024 book, The War on Warriors, Hegseth worried that the military risked becoming ‘effeminate, and apologetic’; he insisted that what liberals really want is “soft men, and a weak military,” and he scolded ‘Pentagon pussies’ who refuse to stand up for soldiers on the battlefield. As secretary of defense, Hegseth has blocked the promotion of female military officers, removed the first woman to lead the Navy, and ordered a review of women’s ‘effectiveness’ in ground-combat roles. He has also used the Defense Department’s social-media channels to post a steady stream of tougher-than-thou videos. The latest entry in this genre came earlier today, when Hegseth announced that he is requiring every service member over 30 to have their testosterone tested annually.” Pete Hegseth Wants YOU to Test Your Testosterone.
