Does Hegseth's requirement that generals & admirals have to pass 2 yearly physical tests also apply to the commander-in-chief?


:D

Only if he must lead the charge into battle. Even King David’s men refused to allow him to put his life on the line because of his age in 2 Samuel 21:17 and in 2 Sam 18:3-4 they demanded he not go into battle because he was worth more than 10,000 men. Of course I’m sure there are many in this country who would cheer the death of President Trump if he was killed in battle.
 
Generals and Admirals are "War Fighters" but not in the sense that they will be doing a 25-mile forced march while wearing a hundred pound pack! Physical fitness standards should be age appropriate and they do not keep Flag Officers around to "hump and grunt" with the rest of the troops (although they may deploy with them in a wartime situation). Their value lies in their abilities to plan and strategize so they need to be mentally sharp and able to work extended hours and all this requires a level of physical fitness.

As I said, fitness standards should be "Age Appropriate" and should be understood that most flag officers will be in their 50s and 60s. They should lead by example.

President Trump may be "Commander-in-Chief" but he is still a civilian and therefore not held to military fitness standards. Plus Secretary Hegseth is "outranked" by him!

In the 1970's in the Marine Corps we had to do 20 pull ups, run 3 miles in 18 minutes, and do 80 situps in less than two minutes in order to max the physical fitness test (PFT). After reaching age 27 they lowered the standards to max it. The women weren't required to do any pull ups; they simply hung with their chin over the bar as long as they could while being timed.
 
New military rules from Hegseth for News reporters. Hence, over 50 refused to sign them and left their desks in the Pentagon.

Ppl like Trump and his family don’t go into battle. Battle is a poor man’s game.

If Trump goes to war with Venezuela and has to put boots on the ground his blood line isn’t going to be the ones fighting a rich man’s war.

Trump is 80 years old, almost. Do you expect him to lead the charge carrying a minigun like Jesse Ventura in Predator?

Donald Trump is just the opposite of the neocons who have gotten America into endless wars most of my lifetime. He can be criticized for many things but being a warmonger is not one of them. He is trying his best to keep America out of wars and all you can do is criticize him. I was watching a video of dozens of women and children in different parts of America who were trafficked by cartel members because of Biden’s open borders for the purpose of making America a one party system being rescued and I thank God more and more for allowing us to have a President like Donald Trump. When he destroyed Iran’s nuclear capability he did so without taking any human lives as far as I know. I pray for him every day.

And, Trump has started no war but is actively trying to be a peace negotiator in 2 ongoing wars.

If he wanted to do something about human trafficking he would do regime change in Mexico not Venezuela.
