Hegseth begins new medical program to restore and optimize ‘performance’ of US military: ‘Sacred duty to maintain the advantage’

Department of War Secretary Pete Hegseth is rolling out a new plan to bolster and strengthen the US military.

Hegseth shared the news in a video posted to X, which was captioned, “The High-T Department of War.” In the clip, Hegseth announced, “I’m authorizing a new screening program for testosterone deficiency for our service members, ensuring you have the right testosterone levels to operate at your absolute best.”
