The Department of War is going to test servicemen for testosterone deficiencies. This article insists it will test service members<\/em>, but we already know that women have low levels \u2014 thank you, nature. Men have 10 to 15 times more of the magical hormone that, in part, gives us strength, muscle mass, and virility. Vivacious, victorious, virility, indeed.<\/p>

Nevertheless, some men have levels that may be attenuated for various reasons.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t care if some H.R. busybody or artsy-fartsy type is testosterone deficient, but it may be an issue for our warriors. That\u2019s why Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is mandating annual tests for war fighters aged 30 and over. He said:<\/p>\n

\n

This initiative \u2014 it\u2019s not about artificial enhancement; it\u2019s about restoring and optimizing your natural capabilities, protecting your longevity, and ensuring you have the biological foundation required to sustain the fight.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cSustain the fight!\u201d That\u2019s interesting. In addition to the obvious benefits (it could make one horny and ornery), a healthy flow of testosterone enhances cognitive cogitations and spatial reasoning, both critical in modern warfare.<\/p>

But what about the estrogen elephant in the room? If our war fighters (i.e. serviceMEN) are to be offered testosterone replacement therapy, what of the estrogen-laden females? What does Secretary Hegseth\u2019s testosterone-testing requirement imply about the makeup and deployment of our troops in order to sustain the fight?<\/p>\n

Perhaps one reasonable deduction is personnel who are imbued with plenty of supernatural testosterone are suitable for combat roles. Conversely, the optimal allocation of service members<\/em> overflowing with estrogen is in support, doing things like shuffling papers, checking supplies, nursing, and whatnot. Nothing wrong with that.<\/p>\n
