Hegseth Summons Brass for Dumbest Reason Imaginable

Former Fox & Friends weekend cohost and current Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is dragging several hundred senior U.S. generals and admirals from around the world to Quantico next week for a pep rally on the "warrior ethos."

Earlier this week, the defense secretary ordered a mass gathering of every senior military officer -- a group of admirals and generals that could total well over 1,000 -- in Quantico, Virginia. Rumors swirled about what the reason could be. Some said a mass firing, others said a fitness test. But the meeting, which is set to take place next week, will actually just be an opportunity for Hegseth to do some pompous grandstanding about the "warrior ethos" he's been so obsessed with for years, CNN reported Friday. ...

Hegseth plans to have his speech recorded and later released.

#1: Good Morning Doc Sarvis: Russia, China, North Korea, and Israel are all watching this massive, costly, idiotic, and risky move which is an attempt at duplicating some sort of weird Leni Riefenstahl event. Who knows what these four countries, or a terrorist group, will do when all of the US military leadership is away from their respective commands that day? i.redd.it

Oh, I'm sure every flight, all personnel, their routines, deviations from same, etc., etc., etc. will be meticulously observed, cataloged, analyzed, recataloged, reanalyzed, all to our adversaries' profit.

Somewhere that gets plenty of heat Leni Riefenstahl is laughing her stone-cold arsch off.

#3: She certainly is laughing her tuchus off. And Leni outlived Rudolf Hess by a dozen years or so.

$20 says it's another grovel-or-else Loyalty Oath shindig, a'la his panderous "cabinate" soirees. It's becoming apparent the only effective policy tool left to TrumpCo is the fear of what ethically unthinkable stunt they'll pull next in another vain attempt to scrub the Epstein story from the news cycle. I expect a unacceptable amount of firings and resignations will go down that day. I truely hope I'm wrong.

What are the odds that Trump will plant a bomb in this gathering of US generals and then blame the Left?

Greater than zero, for sure.

If true, I'd bet among the Generals one could even hear the eyerolls.

Are there betting odds on that on FanDuel?

This is the sanitized version of what's happening.

It's a loyalty test and is the roll out of realigning military vision and purpose to controlling the populace.

Shhh quiet down you animals!

Yes. Taking the pulse of the brass to see if they have the stomach for a few hundred (thousand?) Americans who have to be gunned down to save America.

I hope they laugh his drunk ass out of the room.

My great fear is that the dictator will exact an oath of personal loyalty from these officers.

At which point MAGA will say:

"Yeah, Trump is Hitler. So what?"

#14 | Posted by Zed at 2025-09-28 09:19 AM

What happens if someone takes the Oath and reneges later? TRUMP style.

I mean he has No Loyalty. Why should they or anyone else?

He's a liar, why can't they be?

Trump will be taken Out by the Praetorian Guard, which in America is the Secret Service or the Military.

If Emperors couldn't trust their lackeys why does Trump think he can trust his?

This meeting has gathered too much attention so now Lewzer is going too, to make it about him.

#16 | Posted by REDIAL at 2025-09-28 11:58 AM

Great. The brass will be treated to two guys performing onanism in public. One has a member shaped like a mushroom and the other cannot get it up because of the morning drinking ...

I'm sure the appearances of Major Hegseth and Generalfeldmarschall Bone Spurs will be nothing short of ridiculous..

In preparation for his personal control and abrogation of future elections, Trump is calling in all the top military brass to to swear personal fealty to him. Those who refuse or fail to show sufficient enthusiasm will be canned. Have no doubt, this is a slow motion destruction of democracy in America playing out right before our eyes.

And we're all watching Netflix and ordering junk on Amazon.

America is dead. Donnie and MAGA raped it to death.

Is pedo 47 bringing his squeaky tank?

Now with Pres Trump attending and speaking, what Sec Hegseth had characterized at a short hour-long meeting will no likely go on for a couple hours. Or more.

Meanwhile, our top military leaders will be diverted from protecting the Country in order to listen to Pres Trump's rambling.

Then beat the lifeless body for any spare change in it's pockets.

Retired US Army General Barry McCaffrey suggests that Dummkopf Trumpf "had no idea" that the comical SECDEF Pete "Hic!" Kegsbreath was recklessly convening the galaxy of 800 flag officers at Quantico, VA on 30 Sep and that Trumpf learned of it "horns in." This is plausible because the USSS seems to have been notified late and scrambled to secure the site, taking over security from USACID: www.rawstory.com

And the vastly underqualified sycophantic DNI Tulsi Gabbard did not notify the White House that she was revoking the security clearances of 37 senior USIC personnel, blind-siding the Dotard-in-Chief: www.theguardian.com

US national security is in complete disarray thanks to the Trumpf junta. Gut arbet, those of you who voted for Dummkopf Trumpf on Tuesday, 5 Nov 2024.
