New Hegseth order obliterated as topping his pile of bad ideas: 'Thought it was a joke'

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's new plan to test U.S. troops for low testosterone is drawing pushback from national security commentators, with one columnist calling it "ill-informed on every level and, in some ways, dangerous."

Hegseth announced Wednesday in a video posted to X captioned "The High-T Department of War" that service members age 30 and older will be screened every year for testosterone deficiency as part of their existing periodic health assessment. Troops under 30 can opt in, and those found deficient may choose testosterone replacement therapy.

"While we invest heavily in our weapon systems, platforms and gear, our most decisive tactical advantage will always be the individual warfighter," Hegseth said, framing the screening as a way to keep troops on the "leading edge of lethality."

Writing in Slate, national security columnist Fred Kaplan argued the program rests on a flawed understanding of the hormone.
