Pentagon officials have set fresh standards for weight and grooming for service members attending Pete Hegseth's speech on Sept. 30. The reports indicate they want troops in top shape with impeccable grooming in the crowd. The event comes at a time when Hegseth struggles with historically weak support and a push for impeachment. To date, the Pentagon has not explained the policy publicly. The requirements apply to all troops planning to attend the speech. The surprising decision has intensified attention of the Pentagon chief.
