Ah, America, once the most advanced scientific nation in the world. It's a profoundly sad reflection on the US that these people were chosen to be our leaders. They're not just ignorant, they're willfully stupid, and proud of it.
It's the worst kind of participation trophy to pretend that this disqualifyingly and embarrassingly stupid behavior is in the same ballpark as where we came from.
Are there economic reasons that support the decision making?
Are recruiting numbers really strong over the past year? Are they projected to remain that way? Is the military going to be using AI to reduce headcount?
Are they going to force a lot of older soldiers into retirement to make for a new younger cadre of loyalists?
Millions of barely conscious stalks of broccoli (now with facial hair) herded together calling everyone “bro” and saying “type shit” over and over like a nervous tick.
Oh and if you wonder if you have a testosterone deficiency, you do.
Currently serving with lots of men under the age of 30. Modern style has nothing on compare red to just going to the gym 3 days and running 10 miles a week.
While the reasoning behind this is dumb and it is unfortunate that the screening is mandatory for over 30s and not voluntary, I guess I can’t hate that some people will have the choice of receiving a treatment they may want.
Seems like just a matter of time until this logic extends to mandatory HGH and anabolic steroids for all soldiers or something.

This administration is making quite questionable changes, but it’s not like the last decades did anything to address obesity and vet treatment…
Nobody is forcing these soldiers to take trt, it’s just screening ffs
