Nearly 68% of the country’s reserve forces are overweight, according to a new report by the American Security Project (ASP). Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth took to X to express his thoughts, sharing:
"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.”
American Family News spoke to retired Navy Medical Service Corps officer Lt. Ted Macie, a whistleblower who once exposed the notable rise in incidents of myocarditis, pulmonary embolism, ovarian dysfunction, and more in the military following the Department of Defense’s (DoD) now-rescinded 2021 COVID-19 shot mandate.
Macie admits not being surprised by ASP’s findings, and he believes Hegseth is rightfully concerned.
