Top military official, American-style: The Pentagon will select soldiers to attend Hegseth’s speech based on their “waist-to-height ratio.”

The Pentagon has imposed strict requirements on the military personnel who will attend U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s speech on September 30. Commanders must select service members based on their physical fitness, appearance, and discipline.

According to The Wall Street Journal, candidates must undergo a waist-to-height ratio screening, pass physical fitness tests, and meet strict uniform and appearance requirements.

In addition, the Pentagon wants service members with strong service records, leadership qualities, and the ability to answer questions clearly in stressful situations to attend the event. Those selected will also be offered a joint workout with Hegseth.

❗️Hegseth’s plans for the September 30 event emerged a year after he ordered the country’s top generals and admirals to gather for his speech at the U.S. Marine Corps base in Quantico. At the time, he said that the U.S. military should no longer have “bearded guys” and “fat generals.”
