U.S. military will test service members’ testosterone levels, Pete Hegseth says

The U.S. military is set to screen service members aged 30 and older for testosterone levels, as suggested by Pete Hegseth, to verify they have the necessary biological foundation for combat. This initiative aims to assess physical readiness and potentially identify underlying health issues that could impact performance. While the move stirs debate on privacy and fairness, it underscores a broader trend of scrutinizing physical and biological factors in military recruitment and retention. The implications could reshape standards for service eligibility and health management in the armed forces.
