The testosterone test

Any joke that you might –pardon the expression– come up with about institutions, such as the army, is useless, because Donald Trump has already executed it. Now that he announces that in the end, no, he will not broadcast the execution show live (a pity, really, we miss out on popcorn and a circus) as he had promised us, we know that last year one of his henchmen “gathered all the high-ranking officers of the army at the Quantico base to warn them that he would restore the «warrior ethos»", we read in ARA. This henchman, who must be a sort of Joaquin Phoenix in Gladiator, accused the soldiers of having “allowed the existence of «fatties» and «bearded ones» in their ranks”. He also announced, watch out, testosterone tests.

I think it is very good that he kicks out the fatties. They cannot camouflage well, they are an easier target, they run less, they cry when they crawl during maneuvers and, above all, they are hungrier. I would put them on a diet or execute them directly. The bearded ones, everyone knows, are hippies who also do not run at all because what they want is to make love and not war. A good soldier cannot have wool on their neck. And as for the testosterone test, I understand that he is precisely looking for the soldiers to be full of it (so, like it or not, they loot better when they go to war), but I think it is a good system in reverse.

Now that the political pre-campaign is starting and we will have 40 days and 40 nights of tweets, shouting, false accusations, manipulation, cries and sycophantic smiles, perhaps we should give the candidates the testosterone test. If they have more than they should, men and women alike, let's take them off the front line, so they don't get hurt, and place them in more discreet positions. I say this with one exception. The Colau-Rufián, Rufián-Colau battle seems to me, television-wise, even more interesting than the execution.
