The Army withdrew a new policy requiring ROTC cadets to meet a minimum SAT score just seven days after issuing it, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is not pleased with the reversal. An internal Army memo dated August 5 established, for the first time, minimum standardized test scores for students entering the ROTC program: a 1000 on the SAT, a 20 on the ACT, or a score above the 50th percentile on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery, the military's own entrance exam. The standards were set to take effect in January. Jules Hurst, then the assistant secretary of the Army for manpower and reserve affairs, signed the memo and framed the change as essential to building a fighting force led by capable officers.

AI:The Pentagon is facing intense institutional chaos after the Army abruptly rescinded a new policy requiring ROTC cadets to meet minimum SAT or ACT scores just one week after its announcement. The original mandate, which sought to ensure future officers possessed baseline reading and reasoning skills, was scrapped due to what officials called a need for "further analysis," prompting sharp criticism from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Actor Scott Eastwood is revisiting a tense confrontation with costar Shia LaBeouf on the set of the 2014 war film "Fury", and crediting Brad Pitt with keeping it from boiling over. Eastwood, now 40, appeared on the "Armchair Expert" podcast in an episode released August 3, where he described a clash with LaBeouf about midway through production. The dispute started over something minor: Eastwood was chewing tobacco and spitting on a tank during a scene. LaBeouf objected. The problem, Eastwood said, was that the action was written into the script. LaBeouf confronted him anyway, and Eastwood fired back. Pitt, the film's lead, stepped between them before things escalated further. A scripted action sparked the whole dispute Eastwood first…Open
