Pentagon's Testosterone Push: A Culture War by Another Name The Pentagon has reinstated its mandatory testosterone testing policy for US service members over 30, despite medical experts' warnings that it could lead to health issues such as infertility.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth championed the decision, which is part of a series of moves blurring the line between military preparedness and right wing cultural agenda.
Hegseth's enthusiasm for testosterone testing goes beyond identifying potential "testosterone deficiency" among soldiers; it also promotes a culture of masculinity and athleticism within the military.
