Pentagon officials established fresh standards for weight and grooming for service members attending Pete Hegseth's speech on Sept. 30. Reports say they want only the fittest troops with perfectly neat appearances in the crowd. The event takes place while Hegseth struggles with historically weak support and an impeachment effort. As of now, the Pentagon has not detailed the policy publicly. The requirements extend to all troops planning to attend the speech. This uncommon move has heightened scrutiny of the Pentagon chief.
