Pentagon officials have set new weight and grooming requirements for service members attending Pete Hegseth's speech on Sept. 30. The reports indicate they want the most physically fit service members with flawless grooming standards in the crowd. The event happens as Hegseth deals with record-low approval ratings and growing impeachment calls. To date, the Pentagon has not explained the policy publicly. The requirements extend to all troops who plan to attend the speech. The unusual step has intensified attention of the defense secretary.
