US media: Hedges clearly stated that if you don't comply with the new military appearance standards, you must leave
NBC News website, September 30 report: Hedges told officers that if they didn't like what they heard from him, they should leave the military. "If what I said today makes you feel down, then you should do a glorious thing and resign," he said.
The report said that in his speech, Hedges outlined 10 new directives for the army, including new physical fitness standards for hundreds of officers in all units and audiences, and claimed he would work to eliminate "woke" and "dressing up as girls" in the military.
Hedges said some officers might disagree with the direction he is leading the military. He continued, saying they may have been indoctrinated with the culture of the previous government, which was led by "stupid and reckless political leaders" that created "woke departments." Therefore, they should leave the military. He said others who want to be warriors would stay. But "we may lose excellent talents."
Hedges said the Pentagon will create "appearance standards." "No more beards, long hair, no more pursuing superficial personal expression," he vowed. "We will cut our hair, shave our beards, and follow the standards," he added. If someone wants to keep a beard, "then join the special forces," he said.
"There are no Norse pagans in our army, but unfortunately, our leaders either refuse to enforce the standards or think they have no authority to enforce them," Hedges said. He said if someone cannot meet the male combat physical fitness standards, cannot pass the physical fitness test, or does not want to comply with the appearance standards, "then it's time to look for a new position or career."
