Secretary of Butchness Pete Hegseth announced last week that military recruits — men, and any women that he hasn't yet driven out of the service — will now be tested for testosterone levels. Anyone found wanting in the T-level department will be offered the option of undergoing hormone therapy (the sort of thing the Trumpsters claim is so very, very dangerous for transgender persons).
Soldiers can, we are told, refuse the testosterone treatment. The choice is theirs, although future promotions and positive performance reviews may not be.
Basing a cartoon on a popular internet meme is dicey. There is a good chance that somebody will have already beat the cartoonist to the idea. And probably has beat me to publication.
I considered basing the beefcake in the foreground after movie soldiers who dispense with wearing shirts early on, like Rambo or John Matrix; or the old GI Joe dolls. But since my print clientele is the LGBTQ press, patterning him after the hyperhomosexualized military hunks in Tom of Finland's cartoons seemed the more obvious choice.
I'm not saying that Mr. Hegseth is part of that closeted gay Republican mafia that Hunter Biden was talking about this week.
Well, I'm not saying he isn't, either.
