Pete Hegseth Slams ‘Fat’ Troops, Demands Tougher Fitness Standards

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has made a bold declaration to whip the military back into shape. The 44-year-old has taken a firm stance on tightening fitness standards and transforming the military from “fat” to “fit” following a shocking report that revealed two-thirds of the U.S.’s reserve troops are overweight.

In response to the alarming statistics, Hegseth expressed his dismay, stating, “Completely unacceptable. This is what happens when standards are IGNORED — and this is what we are changing. REAL fitness & weight standards are here. We will be FIT, not FAT.”

The recent study conducted by the American Security Project unveiled that 68% of reserve troops are classified as overweight or obese, a significant increase from 2018. Researchers highlighted the detrimental impact of obesity on reserve component readiness, citing its association with various conditions that can hinder deployment.

The Army National Guard was reported to have the highest obesity rate at 20.6%, while the Marine Corps Reserve had the lowest at 7.3%. Hegseth emphasized the importance of physical fitness in combat situations, stressing that troops need to be fit, not fat, and sharp, not shabby.

Despite facing criticism for leaked texts regarding classified details about strikes in Yemen, Hegseth remains resolute in his mission to uphold military standards. President Trump has expressed support for Hegseth, dismissing concerns over the leaks as a “waste of time” and commending his efforts in improving military readiness.

As the White House reportedly begins the search for a new Secretary of Defense, Hegseth remains focused on his objectives. He has denied any wrongdoing and continues to advocate for a strong and capable military force. The Defense Department is undergoing a transformation under Hegseth’s leadership, with a renewed emphasis on physical fitness and combat readiness.
