Hegseth announces new policy to test troops for low testosterone

Just so everyone knows, because I didn't until I checked, he got his bronze stars NOT for bravery but for "meritorious achievement". I have no idea what qualifies for meritorious achievement. Shined shoes, a clean latrine and an ability to say "yes sir"?

What I don't like about him is (and I'm gonna copy and paste since it's better written than I could come up with) this:

Hegseth has drawn criticism during his tenure as Secretary of Defense for a variety of actions such as: the fallout from a leaked government group chat on Signal, alleged war crimes related to U.S. military strikes on alleged drug traffickers in the Caribbean Sea, promoting Christianity inside the military, using unmarked military planes for boat strikes, and the use of force and the rules of engagement in the 2026 Iran war.

The guy rings out as an asshole - just add booze.
You sound triggered. Allow me to point you in the direction of a country more favorable to your sensitive nature:

What right do you have to criticize him when you didn't reply to my post?
I did reply to your post. I told you why I thought Kegsbreath was weird. Well not ALL the reasons.

Are you referring to another post I haven't seen?
 
Good afternoon James.

A meritorious achievement for a Bronze Star is a single, specific, and outstanding act of merit. It must happen in a designated combat zone while you are fighting an enemy or facing an opposing force. [1, 2, 3]
The act must be highly exceptional but not quite as major as the acts needed for the Legion of Merit. It must stand out clearly above what is usually expected from a person of your rank and experience. [1, 2]
Oh... ^this^ one. Ok, I just saw it.

Ok, what exactly did Hegseth do, specifically, that was meritorious? Regardless, it wasn't for "valor".

I'd have to look into it. But at this stage you criticizing him based on your opinion that he is "weird" doesn't carry any more water than me calling you weird since I don't actually know much about you. The bottom line is he has military credentials and a helluva lot more credibility than someone like alpha stryke who basically harps about how he's a veteran in every post, yet trashes another veteran (a decorated vet no less) at every opportunity simply because he works under Trump.
 
@VonBonfire (my quote function is intermittent so bear with me).

Don't you think calling for a testosterone test is at least a little strange? Don't you think all those tattoos are a wee bit 'off'?
 
@Picasso aka The Sweet Sweet Syrup Man.

Truth hurts, doesn't it. You compensate harder than Lindsay Picasso Graham. We all know.

It's the military. You get all kinds of dumbass orders from above and are expected to follow them. That's the gig. Like go get your experimental covid vaccine or be discharged. Isn't that a little strange too?

As for the tattoos, the bible says not to put tattoo marks on your body. It's a good policy to avoid them but I have a tattoo and I know many people with tattoos. I am friends with several tattoo artists. I see people who seem to make them their identity, which is rather strange to me, but it's their body, not mine. I think it was mostly a military and sailor type thing that got more popular with the general public so asking me to judge Pete's tattoos as "off" well....he's military and tats are pretty common there. I think tats mostly look like shit. My tat looks like shit. Does that answer your question?
