“This is a great big fat ‘Oh, no,’” Anawalt said in reaction to Hegseth’s announcement. “We’re turning the clock back on rational healthcare. … I’m worried about the ethics. I’m worried about the health consequences. I’m worried about unnecessary evaluations, incorrect assessments, and incorrect diagnoses that lead to inappropriate prescriptions of testosterone.”

In 4 months they'll be indiscriminately issuing amphetamine stims to service members. I mean, it worked for the SS. Probably. At least for a little while. Actually, I have no idea, but it seems like something Keitel and Goering would be all about to claim they had a chemical edge over all the subhumans occupying their lebensraum.

    Those stims were amphetamines, and they were given to soldiers to be prepared for those Blitzes. It also stunted their humanity and made them literal monsters.
