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 perfectly neat appearances in the crowd. The event happens as Hegseth struggles with historically weak support and a push for impeachment. So far, the Pentagon has not detailed the policy publicly. The requirements extend to all troops who plan to attend the speech. The unusual step has heightened scrutiny of the man leading the Pentagon.
