Pete Hegseth to Require Testosterone Tests in U.S. Military
Pete Hegseth, U.S. Secretary of Defense, plans to introduce mandatory testosterone testing in the U.S. military to ensure soldiers maintain satisfactory hormone levels. According to the Neue Zürcher Zeitung, the measure is designed to guarantee good hormonal condition in the ranks. Low testosterone causes fatigue, lack of motivation, depression, and irritability. These issues are frequently caused by overweight, stress, or lack of sleep.
