US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has issued a blistering warning to senior officers and troops alike, declaring that physical readiness is non-negotiable and blasting what he called 'fat generals' in the halls of the Pentagon.
Delivering a fiery address at the FAFO military meeting on Tuesday, 30 September, at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, Hegseth unveiled the first of 10 new Department of War directives, designed to overhaul military standards and shift the focus back to combat preparedness.
