What do you get when you put a “dude-bro” in charge of the largest army to ever exist in the history of humanity? Why, you get the stupidest timeline ever. Pete Hegseth, a man remarkable only for his hair, continues to try and prove why he is the worst choice for the important role of “Secretary of Defense”, a name they despised so much they illegally tried to change it to “Secretary of War”. The new moniker seems fitting, as Hegseth has already committed several war crimes in his brief tenure.
Now, to make matters worse, he wants to force recruits that have “low testosterone” and force them to risk the potential of becoming not only infertile, but permanently obliged to supplement their natural testosterone with artificial hormones, as this sort of procedure can permanently alter your hormonal balance.
This trend of taking Testosterone is a fundamental dude-bro thing to do. These men will self prescribe themselves as needing hormonal replacement, simply because they cannot stand the idea of aging naturally. They believe that the whole army needs to be comprised of chunky beefcakes, as though armies are dictated by the size of the soldiers biceps, rather than the effectiveness of their training. The move makes no sense, as the added complication of ensuring that soldiers are constantly provided this hormone would prove to be logistically impossible. Worst still, as soon as the meds run out, any army dependent on this stuff would become useless the moment supplies were cut off.
The whole thing reminds me of the Nazi army during WWII, where soldiers were pumped full of Crystal Meth and Cocaine to try and make them more effective soldiers. After a while, the German Army had to stop this practice, as drug addicted soldiers made for a very chaotic and unreliable force.
Who is behind this boneheaded move? Why, it’s the Christian Nationalists, of course. They applaud the move, thinking that injections are just what their lord and savior wanted. Never mind the fact that these are the same assholes that wanted to remove mandatory vaccines for soldiers. Now they want people to take exogenous steroids that permanently alters your body’s chemistry. Wow, these pieces of shit aren’t hypocrites at all, are they?
