        Yeah, if you abuse steroids your body produces alot less test. So when you stop taking gear to pass a drug test you numbers look crazy low. Sometimes so low you can get a doctors note for them to give you replacement. For the army that would mean free steroids on the government dime. And or the kinda CTE you get from repeatedly being too close to explosions does seem to cause damage to your body's ability to regulate hormones. Not as sure about that last one

        No, it’s more about how the extreme stresses of military work result in a myriad of health issues. But chuds in congress think if soldiers could just take a testosterone shot then it’ll fix everything once and for all.

            You’re not wrong either. Operator Syndrome (stupid ass name) is basically just “Why don’t I feel like a big strong man anymore? I keep doing manly things like facilitating the murder of brown people. What gives?”
