Will the global testosterone decline accelerate the shift to robot warfare?
The Pentagon has implemented mandatory testosterone screening for active-duty service members aged 30 and older, with US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth stating the policy aims to strengthen combat readiness. Hegseth emphasized the need for troops to remain 'strong, resilient and capable' to meet modern warfare demands, though the initiative's direct link to the global testosterone decline or robot warfare is unspecified.
