Hegseth "abstracts": it is to order a bunch of pizza on purpose, take your time and guess

Source: Direct News

At a commemorative event held on October 5 local time to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the U.S. Navy, U.S. Secretary of Defense ("Secretary of War") Hagerseth said that he was aware of the so-called "Pentagon Pizza Index."

Fox News News on October 5 that reporter Peter Ducey asked, "There is an account on social media trying to predict military action based on the bustle of the pizzeria near the Pentagon, have you ever thought of going directly to the dining room?"

Hegseth laughed and responded, "I know that account number. I hadn't thought of going directly to the canteen before.I thought about ordering a lot of pizza at random one night, so that everyone can't figure out what's going on.One Friday night, when you see a bunch of pizza orders, I might just be using an app to deliberately disrupt the entire system so that everyone can guess.”

A long time ago, some American experts discovered that whenever the Pentagon worked overtime collectively, the order volume of nearby pizza shops would skyrocket (because pizza is easy to eat and get, it is the first choice for Americans to work overtime), so they invented a "Pentagon Pizza Index" to monitor the work of the Pentagon.

U.S. Defense Secretary Hertz

Hertz led more than 3,000 people to bow down and previously said it would not accept the United States having "obese generals"

To make the outside world laugh, reference news citing foreign media reports that Hertz has recently set a world record. According to local time on October 4,U.S. Secretary of War Hughes took part in an event in Maryland, where he led the organization of 3068 practitioners, officers and spectators on the scene to bow down, breaking the Guinness world record of “most simultaneously bowing down in a minute.”

Direct News noted that just a few days before Hegseth organized to break this world record, Hegseth convened a U.S. military generals' convention, which was held on September 30th at the Marine Corps Base in Quantico, Virginia. Hegseth said in a speech at the time that the Ministry of National Defense needs to have "the right talents" and "the right culture", and proposed 10 new directives in this regard.One of the new directives is to strengthen physical fitness standards and tests, and strengthen grooming requirements.

He said it was “absolutely unacceptable to see fat generals and generals in the corridors of the Pentagon.”

He directly announced the height and weight requirements for all U.S. military personnel at the conference, and bluntly said: "Frankly speaking, it is upsetting to see obese soldiers in combat queues, or even any queue." Referring to himself, he said: "If the Secretary of War can adhere to regular high-intensity physical training, so can every member of our joint force."
