Here’s my uneducated conspiracy-focused take on why the military would want mandatory HRT:

• This is not an attempt to make soldiers more battle-ready, it’s to make the population more aggressive
• the baseline for low-T in the military will either be raised, or final determinations will be based on arbitrary factors or performance-based. They want to push people’s hormones to the point that they’ll attack the women on base and need only the slightest nudge to attack anyone who pisses them off back home.
• While on the military HRT, increased libido and aggression will create pockets of men who will fuck anything, and increase the population for the next generation of disenfranchised workers
• The increased aggression and government propaganda would make soldiers more likely to vote for politicians who express hatred that aligns with their own
• Retired members of the military who can’t afford continued HRT and maintain testosterone levels elevated above recommended levels will likely become prematurely impotent. Considering that the people currently in charge learn all the facts from TV shows, they’d probably be banking on the ol’ “this man went on a killing spree because he was impotent, and murdering women who look like his mother was the only way to prove that he’s not impotent.”

My most pessimistic prediction is that they’re hoping the outcome of this to include increased rates of violence stateside, high levels of pregnant sexual assault victims, soldiers who want to stay in the military because they have so much more energy while enlisted, retired military-turned-cops who are more likely to shoot minorities, increased post-military ICE applicants for better-trained forces, voters who don’t know why they hate everyone who isn’t themselves and will irrationally vote for anyone who calls minorities “scum,” and fulfill their strange obsession with sexy/manly looking men cum gutters and all.

I also think that if they actually follow through with military-required HRT, pulmonary embolisms and prostate cancer would become the symptoms this generation’s Agent Orange.
