Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Wednesday that he is rolling out a new screening program for “testosterone deficiency” among troops, calling it necessary to allow them to operate at their “absolute best.”
The screenings will be conducted annually as part of service members’ required medical screenings for those 30 and older, he said. Troops under 30 can volunteer to be tested. In a video on social media, Hegseth said receiving testosterone replacement therapy would be voluntary.
Sure, it'll be voluntary, as in "we'll medically separate you from the service if you don't take the pills/shots." This is coming from a clown whose very first move as SecDef was to put a makeup studio next to his office.

[1] Hegseth was allegedly separated from the Army because of, shall we say, substance abuse issues. But it would seem that he blames women and minorities for the apparent reality that the Army was less than willing to keep a drunken O-4 on the job.
So it's a "voluntary" regimen of performance enhancing drugs for the troops. Just what is needed: well-trained, heavily armed folks with roid rage.
