Forget ‘looksmaxxing’ – the US military is now ‘warmaxxing’.
In a bid to help soldiers operate at their ‘absolute best’, any US military member with low testosterone will be offered voluntary hormone replacement therapy.
US defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has said that all military personnel above the age of 30 will soon undergo tests for testosterone levels, with the test being optional.
He shared a video, titled ‘High-T Department’, and vowed the ‘best medical care in the world’ for America’s ‘warriors’.
‘Taking care of your long-term health means ensuring you remain strong, resilient and capable – not just for your next deployment, but for the rest of your life, so you can thrive long after you take off the uniform,’ Hegseth said.
The military currently bans taking testosterone for non-medical reasons, but Hegseth has stressed that the program isn’t about ‘artificial enhancement’.
Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said: ‘The protocol will enable the Department to establish a comprehensive baseline and offer targeted testosterone therapy, ensuring that it sustains a healthy, capable, and decisively dominant fighting force.’
Since taking his position as Secretary of defense, Hegseth has changed the agency’s name to the ‘Department of War’ and placed a major focus on Christian nationalism.
He’s also known for his aggressive tactics towards the press who question ongoing military operations in Iran.
Earlier this year, Hegseth told reporters that the entire world ‘should be saying thank you’ to Trump while claiming the Iran War has been a success.
Bragging about how well the Iran War had gone, Hegseth slammed those who have questioned the length of the war and the widespread effects.
At the beginning of the war, it was revealed that American soldiers were told that the Iran conflict was ‘God’s plan’ to bring about the end of the world by officials.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation received more than 200 complaints from personnel across all branches of the armed forces.
One complainant said their commander kicked off their combat readiness briefing by ‘urging us not to be “afraid” of the looming threat of war.
They said: ‘He urged us to tell our troops that this was “all part of God’s divine plan” and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ.
‘He said that: “’President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth.”‘
According to a copy of the email shared by journalist Jonathan Larsen, the commander said this with a ‘big grin on his face’.
