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
Pentagon Press Secretary Kingsley Wilson on Massie’s Hegseth impeachment articles: “Secretary Hegseth has been a transformative leader for the Department of War. Standards and merit are back, our arsenal is stronger than ever before, and morale and recruitment across every service are at all-time highs. Secretary Hegseth has slashed bureaucracy, unleashed innovation, and delivered for our warfighters every step of the way. By every measurable metric, the Department of War is better under President Trump and Secretary Hegseth’s leadership than before. The entire Department is unified behind the Secretary’s vision and will continue working to put our warfighters and America first.”
