Top American Military: The Pentagon will select soldiers for Hegseth's speech based on their waist-to-height ratio. The Pentagon has set strict requirements for the soldiers who will attend the speech by US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on September 30. Commanders must select soldiers based on physical fitness, appearance, and discipline. According to The Wall Street Journal, candidates must pass a waist-to-height ratio test, physical fitness standards, and meet strict uniform and appearance requirements. In addition, the Pentagon wants to see soldiers with high service records, leadership qualities, and the ability to clearly answer questions under stress. Selected participants will also be offered a joint training session with Hegseth. Hegseth's plans for the September 30 event come a year after he ordered a gathering of the country's top generals and admirals for a speech at the U.S. Marine Corps Base in Quantico. He then declared that there should no longer be "bearded men" and "fat generals" in the American military. More IZ RU news in MAX

A vote on the resolution is expected to take place within two days. It is still unclear whether enough Republicans will support the initiative to really create problems for Hegseth, writes The Hill.
