Pentagon Pete Takes His War on Beards to Whole New Theater

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has fired another shot in his personal war on facial hair in the armed forces.

The former Fox News host last month implemented a ban on “beardos” in the U.S. military, despite once begging the right-wing cable network to let him keep his “vacation beard” intact.

Hegseth, who has rebranded himself as Donald Trump’s “Secretary of War,” is currently on a tour of Asia with the president. The pair will meet Japan’s Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi on Wednesday.
