"The former Fox News host arrived in Hawaii on Monday for a trip that will later take him to Japan, Malaysia and Vietnam. Korean station KBS World Radio said Hegseth is scheduled to spend two days in South Korea beginning next Monday. He recently summoned the nation's top military officials to Virginia, where they heard their boss deliver a speech deriding soldiers with beards."
"No more beardos, Hegseth said during his late September address. The era of rampant and ridiculous shaving profiles is done. He told military brass that ignoring seemingly small matters like lax shaving habits can lead to bigger problems. Hegseth also issued a Sept. 30 memo stating the military would only issue facial hair waivers for troops with certain medical issues such as pseudofolliculitis barbae, a painful skin condition that's made worse by shaving."
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth will not meet with service members in South Korea who hold shaving waivers and those enlistees were notified they cannot attend his Camp Humphreys rally. Hegseth arrived in Hawaii and will travel to Japan, Malaysia and Vietnam, with two days in South Korea scheduled. He summoned top military officials to Virginia and criticized soldiers with beards, declaring an end to lax shaving profiles. A Sept. 30 memo restricts facial hair waivers to certain medical conditions such as pseudofolliculitis barbae. Hegseth previously served in the Army National Guard and worked at Fox News.
