00:00It's tiring to look out at combat formations, or really any formation, and see fat troops.

00:06Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon,

00:11and leading commands around the country and the world.

00:14It's a bad look. It is bad, and it's not who we are.

00:18So whether you're an airborne ranger or a chair-borne ranger,

00:21a brand new private or a four-star general,

00:24you need to meet the height and weight standards and pass your PT test.

00:28This administration has done a great deal from day one

00:31to remove the social justice, politically correct, and toxic ideological garbage that had infected our department.

00:38To rip out the politics.

00:42No more identity months, DEI offices, dudes in dresses.

00:49No more climate change worship.

00:52No more division, distraction, or gender delusions. No more debris.

01:04If women can make it, excellent.

01:07If not, it is what it is.

01:10If that means no women qualify for some combat jobs, so be it.

01:14Again, theLEY has been rebuilt.

01:15That means no women qualify for a forgiven.

01:17To be aware of the military.

01:19If not, it is a great deal.

01:20If you need someone who has suppressed weak sides of the street.

01:22If not, please.

01:24Anything behind you name it?

01:26So where are we?
