@abcnews: "The era of unacceptable appearance is over." Secretary Pete Hegseth addressed an auditorium packed with several hundred of the nation's most seasoned military commanders summoned last-minute from around the world. Hegseth demanded no more "fat generals," saying all service members would need to meet fitness tests and grooming standards. "No more beardos," he said. "The era of unacceptable appearance is over." #news #petehegseth #military
Apply these same standards to politicians. If you can't pass a medical exam and cognitive test it's time to retire.

So many misinformed comments. It’s the military. They have to be physical fit. They need to be ready to go to war.

Generals are older and cannot meet tough physical standards, they are there for their knowledge & experience, not on field abilities. These new rules create a pretext to rid the military of the existing brass and replace it with loyalists. And seems male only.
