January 1, Charlamagne Backs Military Fitness Crackdown

Wyatt’s Take

• Support builds for making top brass meet the same fitness rules as regular troops.
• High-profile voices call out ‘fat generals’ weakening America’s image.
• Military leaders now face new hard-nosed fitness standards, no more free passes.

Liberal podcaster Charlamagne Tha God stood with Secretary Pete Hegseth’s demand that generals and admirals shape up to the same strict physical standards as every other soldier.

Charlamagne said.

“I agree with Pete on the fat admirals and generals, though. I don’t want no fat admirals and generals.”

Co-host Andrew Schulz added.

“There’s one standard. It’s not amend in with a standard; it’s just one standard.”

Charlamagne chimed back.

“You can’t have the strongest military in the world and not look the part, bro.”

“Today, at my direction, every member of the joint force at every rank is required to take a PT test twice a year, as well as meet height and weight requirements twice a year.”

Hegseth said.

“Also, today at my direction, every warrior across our joint force is required to do PT every duty day. Should be common sense, I mean most units do that already, but we’re codifying.”

“And, we’re not talking like hot yoga and stretching. Real hard PT.”

“Either as a unit or as an individual. At every level from the joint chiefs to everyone in this room to the youngest private, leaders set the standard.”

If you think leaders in Washington should lead from the front, let us know what you think. Stand up for what keeps America strong.

Wyatt Matters

Folks in the heartland know hard work and personal discipline go hand in hand with good leadership. These new rules call for holding everyone to account, no matter their title, just like we do in our own communities.
