US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth reiterates 'warrior ethos' and high physical fitness standards for male combatants, potentially excluding some women from serving in the military. Hegseth emphasizes the importance of uniform, gender-neutral standards during his address to top US military leaders near Washington DC. President Donald Trump is scheduled to speak after Hegseth at the summit, where discussions also focus on military culture, training, leadership, and addressing concerns like "woke garbage" in the officer corps.
