Pentagon officials established strict fitness and appearance rules for service members attending Pete Hegseth's speech on Sept. 30. Reports say they want troops in top shape with flawless grooming standards in the crowd. The event happens as Hegseth struggles with historically weak support and a push for impeachment. As of now, the Pentagon has not explained the policy publicly. The requirements cover all troops who intend to be present the speech. This uncommon move has intensified attention of the defense secretary.
