The gathering, which is scheduled to take place Tuesday, was described as a “pep rally.” But bringing hundreds of generals to Quantico, including those stationed abroad, could prove to be an extremely expensive pep talk.
There’s absolutely nothing the military in general hates more than this shit, and there’s nothing high ranking officers specifically hate more than being treated like common soldiers.
This isn’t going to inspire loyalty, it’s going to turn the top brass against this administration for various reasons.
Exactly. At some point the meeting will end, and Hegseth will leave, and the generals will just be in a room together, talking about how shit hegseth is.
Not even normal soldiers, but as decoration. They’ll be there to make him look good, for “optics”, and will serve the same function as furniture and wall art. All for a talk that is about army fitness and not anything requiring terribly delicate security?
If they have any self-respect they’ll be talking amongst eachother right now saying the same shit and deciding not to go. Besides, if security is the reason they should all be gathered then security is also the reason why that’s a terrible idea.
“The president just said he told Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that “we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military,” referring to urban areas within the United States.”
If there is no coup now, every united states military officer at this gathering is 100% on board with being deployed on US soil against US citizens.

They’re just pissing off everyone
I hope so, but the way things are going, I doubt it.
Yeah I’d love to see the facial expressions on the Marines generals as he tells them how to be better Marines.
One of the most expensive “this could have been an email” meeting

Are you fucking kidding? US top brass fucking loves this shit. Fascist pep rally on the taxpayers dime, it just doesn’t get any better.
oh, I’m sorry, i didn’t know you had more experience with the military and high level officers…

Let’s see what happens, shall we?
Using “military leadership” to refer to a single political appointte is fucking ridiculous.
Edited for accuracy. Are you beginning to understand? Or are you gonna keep playing military apologist?
