"She then cut to some of Hegseth's comments to the generals, which included calling out the military for getting too laid back in their physical fitness standards. Troops are required to pass a physical fitness test (the standards of which vary by age group) at least once every fiscal year. Hegseth said he sees far too much fat in the military ranks though."
"After going through Trump's comments, Hostin blasted Hegseth for holding the meeting at all, arguing it was bad optics for the military, and painting them in a negative light. I'm actually really befuddled by why he did that. The optics were terrible, meaning all of our top military brass are all in one place and we spent $6 million to get them there? she said."
"Um, why is he obsessed with fat? Behar asked. Yeah, and fitness? Hostin added. The hosts then cut to Trump's address to the generals, which touched on everything from the possibility of him receiving a Nobel Peace Prize to the gorgeous paper he uses in the White House.

Joy Behar and Sunny Hostin reacted to Secretary Pete Hegseth's address to U.S. military leaders in Quantico, Virginia. Hegseth announced a review of military standards and repeatedly stated that "woke garbage" has no place in the military. He criticized relaxed physical fitness standards and said he sees far too much fat among service members, including generals and admirals. Behar labeled his vision retro and questioned his focus on "fat," while Hostin called convening top brass in one place poor optics and raised concerns about the $6 million cost to assemble them.
