The vast percentage of roles in the modern US military are *not* in combat. Who cares if your mechanic can do 100 pushups? If your cook can run a sub-6 minute mile? If your intelligence analyst can deadlift 300 pounds?

And who cares if your Sec of Defense is great at PT if he cannot think or lead?
Hegseth: "Basic training is being restored to what it should be -- scary, tough, and disciplined. We're empowering drill sergeants to instill healthy fear in new recruits, ensuring that future warfighters are forged ... they can put hands on recruits."

Notice that Gov. Pritzker is calling out what @radleybalko.bsky.social has emphasized: Trump is *barely even bothering* to manufacture fake crises to use as pretexts to send troops into cities. It's just repression for the hell of it
