The US defence secretary’s decision to review military standards on combat and physical fitness and appearance opens a Pandora’s box of widely differing rules among the services.

Frankly, as a citizen of a formerly-allied country that the US is now openly discussing annexing by force, I’m fine with them crippling their military with absurd rules and standards. Go nuts, Hesgeth. Pile on the racism and sexism and whatever. Kick out any pilots or gunnery officers or whatever that are good at their jobs but that can’t run a mile in whatever arbitrary time you pick. Ensure there are lots of well-trained former military personnel in your country that are bitter at your government but no longer under its control. I’m sure it’ll go great.
