🚨 BREAKING: SecWar Pete Hegseth NUKES fat generals and announces a new twice-yearly PT test for top brass. "It's unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon, and leading all around the world. It's a BAD LOOK, and it's not who we are!" "You need

@EricLDaugh Excellent. Now let’s get a physical fitness requirement for Congress.

@Bubblebathgirl We need MENTAL requirements as priority number one!

@EricLDaugh I’m laughing a little at this because Charlie always railed against fat generals. He’d love this

@AndrewKolvet So many Charlie wishes are coming true!

@EricLDaugh Milley, the traitor.

@FrankLdR3 Good riddance to him.

@EricLDaugh Same with cops, please.

@thewalkerseven 100% with police! Anyone put in combat situations!

@EricLDaugh How do you meet a height requirement twice a year

@EricLDaugh @AxemuchBastione @grok What are the height requirements and if they are too short will VA cover spine lengthening?

@EricLDaugh I am all for PT tests, but why in the world does height matter? I could care less if you are 4 feet tall if you can lead men into battle effectively.

@EricLDaugh Isn’t this the same guy who couldn’t do push ups or pull ups to any recognizable standard?

@EricLDaugh Is this a tactic to hurt our military? This will actively exclude smart, capable leaders who are not in shape. A general doesn’t need to meet the physical fitness standards of an infantryman, this should be obvious.

@EricLDaugh Is the commander-in-chief of the US armed forces required to take the same test ?

@EricLDaugh Okay. Stop and listen. This is going too far in the other direction. We had/have a woke military. It is wrong and bad to establish different standards for soldiers where someone can get away with going to combat when they are physically incapable of dragging their shot buddy to

@EricLDaugh Wait a minute, hold on... I've heard about goals like these before... I just can't remember where... oh, wait a minute, wasn’t there a certain regime really into mandatory fitness tests, strict height and weight standards, and total control over their military's physical

@EricLDaugh This is 4D chess. He’s found a way to release all the top generals who have slipped into bureaucracy (and probably the deep state). This is a strategic move to remove those who are likely clogging up the effectivenessof the military. He’s right. And it will accomplish his goals.

@EricLDaugh Napoleon would not have made the cut. Churchill? Top brass and some of best military strategists ever.

@EricLDaugh Has he seen the commander in chief??

@EricLDaugh I reckon half the "leaders" in that room pegged this "lecture" as a laughable circus act, likely daydreaming about tossing in their retirement papers while wrestling to find their long-lost pecker buried under that epic belly flab! Here is one of America's "fearless" military

@EricLDaugh Even the Nazis put up with Goring and he was a fat tub of 💩 who certainly didn’t meet the expectations of the Aryan “super man.” Guess Pete has higher expectations than the Fuhrer (who also didn’t quite measure up). And Goebells had a club foot (FWIW). 🙏

@EricLDaugh How about a twice-daily sobriety test for the Secretary of Defense?

@EricLDaugh SecWar Hegseth just told the Pentagon: “No more fat generals. PT test twice a year. Meet the standard or step aside.” For too long, America’s top brass looked like lobbyists, not warriors. If you can’t run a mile, you shouldn’t be running the military. Discipline is

@EricLDaugh Hope they can maintain their height requirements throughout the year

@EricLDaugh Douglas MacArthur didn't look like a CrossFit poster boy when he waded ashore at Leyte. He smoked, aged, and carried a paunch but he crushed Japan's hold on the Pacific thus rewrote Asia's map. Leadership isn’t washboard abs. It's vision, guts, and winning wars. Hegseth calling

@EricLDaugh For the 8 years I was in the USMC, at 6'2", I had a max weight of 210. Not 211. Not 210.5, but 210. I worked to keep myself fit, it was a requirement. If you are overweight, you are on promotion hold and on weight-control. It just has to be. Generals the same!

@EricLDaugh I really wish the cameraman would have panned the camera to a couple of the fat generals in the audience. @PeteHegseth shame these fat fucks by showing them to us. Have the cameraman zoom in on the real big ones, so we can watch them squirm and breathe heavy. 🤣 Shame/Pain is

@EricLDaugh I don’t understand Pete’s issue says one man!

@EricLDaugh Generally I agree however this is from the mouth of a young man. Easy for him to say. Pete won’t look the same regardless of his PT when he is 60

@EricLDaugh Department of War about to place the biggest order for Ozempic in history.

@EricLDaugh i can't count the soldiers I've known who get pushed out because they couldn't lose another 10 pounds, while the fat, out-of-shape beass smoked cigars

@EricLDaugh Wait, he brought all those generals to fat shame them? ROFLMAO. They must must be raging at him.

@EricLDaugh All you idiots questioning height? lmao Let me mansplain for you. Height and weight have to be proportional. A 6’5” man is going to weigh more than a 5’5” man. The SecWar was not telling them to become taller. He was stating one’s weight has to be proportional to their height.

@EricLDaugh Gen. Ulysses S. Grant wasn't ripped, wasn't a fitness model, and he fought bouts of alcoholism his whole life. Yet he broke the Confederacy, took Lee's surrender at Appomattox, and saved the Union. Victory doesn't come from abs. It comes from iron will, strategy, and guts.

@EricLDaugh It shows a lot of people never served. I did, for just over 10 years. We had to do this twice a year during my time in the Navy. And for those confused about “height” being mentioned, your height determines the weight range you would be expected to fall into. I’m 6’3” and
