Pentagon Pete Goon Demands Better Grooming to Boost ‘Lethality’

Pete Hegseth’s top naval official is following his lead when it comes to cracking down on sailors’ beards.

Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao, who was elevated to the role after Hegseth axed his predecessor in April, issued a memo on Wednesday instructing naval personnel to uphold the “Warrior Ethos” by maintaining proper grooming standards.

“To build culture, it starts with physical appearance and personal comportment—every single day,” Cao, 54, wrote. “A squared away Marine exudes discipline, preparedness, and lethality. A squared away Sailor displays confidence, focus, and precision. Service culture is where it starts.”
