Why are hundreds of generals and admirals meeting with Hegseth?

[kentuck]

The only reason that I can think of is that the regime is checking to see how much loyalty they have in the military ranks?

Who is on their side if they have to go to war in the streets?

What will they do if the Commander in Chief declares martial law?

Strange meeting.

[CentralMass]

1. Your guess is a resonable one.

[Baitball Blogger]

2. They're planning a military coup.

I hope someone drops the information and Hegseth is finally thrown out based on treason.

[CousinIT]

3. Gov't shuts down next week. Martial law then? Whatever the fascist regime is planning..

...IT.
IS.
NOT.
GOOD.

They plan to NEVER hire back the government employees furloughed during the shutdown. They may be replaced by minions chosen by Trump, MAGA and their billionaire friends.

IOW, our government will have been TAKEN OVER by a hostile enemy and that's the end of it.

So yeah, I can see what this evil crime syndicate may be planning.

[Gregory1230]

4. He may...

He may order to ready to start war against Venezuela 🇻🇪. Who knows? Or maybe he could remove top officers especially women. Again, who knows? Just saying. 😀

[0rganism]

5. Loyalty oaths to F47 while hooked up to a polygraph

Just my guess, could be anything really, as long as it's evil. Evil is the prerequisite of everything they do.

6. The entire administration is composed of actors.

General Buck Turgidson Hegseth says we must not allow a mineshaft gap.
IMO some nefarious deed so awful as to unite the world against us is afoot. And like in Dr. Strangelove all the top brass will find a safe haven, comfortably away from the horrors they impose on others.

[Lovie777]

7. Loyalty test..............

the rate shithole and comrades are going, they're trying to completely take over the country asap.

The incident with Kimmel backfired spectacularly, and made shithole look small. The indictment of Comey will fall flat, now he's rushing against other people he does not like.

The economy still sucks, shithole's poll numbers is way down and it appears the Democrats may win back the house and maybe the senate.

Untraceable tax payer's money missing from the federal government and approximately 1,800 detainees are missing, gone, their names were deleted from the roaster.

We are in a nightmare.

[erronis]

8. They're preparing a final solution for the non-compliant in the old POAC

Pentagon Officers Athletic Club.

Nicely sound-proofed.

Used to play handball there with some real military - not the trumper hegsbreath bone-spur types.

[wiggs]

9. New Commander in Chief? nt

[70sEraVet]

10. So, this big meeting happens RIGHT after Hegseth issues ultimatum....

about how journalists are forbidden to put put out ANY information unless it has been approved by his Department?
The subject of the meeting must be something unpalatable to the American people (not just to MAGA folks, who have proven to be capable of swallowing just about ANY bullsh-t from this admin).

[CentralMass]

11. They are staging to stop the elecrion in 2028.

[Ponietz]

34. 2026 first

[Pepsidog]

12. Exactly. Pledge allegiance to the Traitor or get the axe.

[LastDemocratInSC]

32. Same as Sadam Hussein's purging the Baath party in 1979.party

Naming them, shaming them, and moving them outside the auditorium and into custody. 21 eventually were later shot.

[BOSSHOG]

13. The military owes no loyalty to the regime

Their oath is to the constitution and their obligation is to obey lawful orders.

Are we in this situation because a desperate sack of garbage supported by ignorant fake patriots is in a jam and he thinks he knows the way out?

[Shipwack]

28. Yes. Yes we are. nt

[Chicagogrl1]

14. My gut says

They will all be fired

[James48]

15. Very dangerous.

If they are all meeting at the same place, in person, Russia could toss a missile in and it would be Pearl Harbor on steroids.

You don’t do large in person meetings of top military leaders for a reason. Hegseth hasn’t got the memo. Idiot

[Tom Dyer]

16. First thing I thought of.

I just can’t figure out the reason in the year of our Lord 2025.

[Stinky The Clown]

17. The NYT reported it was to tell them how to be warriors

He wants to do it "eyeball to eyeball".

keep in mind.Whiskey Pete was a National Guard Major. He is the perfect person to tell Flag officers, many with combat experience, how to be warriors.

[gerryatwork]

18. There have to be

hundreds of generals and admirals who are dissatisfied with where the military and country is headed. Surely there will be dozens of unattributed leaks to all levels of the press and media. We’ll find out soon enough what the meeting was really about.

[TomSlick]

19. My guess is that's just a performance.

He wants the flag officers to see who's boss.

[Warpy]

20. If Hegseth had a brain in his head

the meeting would be about rethinking weapons systems, introducing small and medium sized drones as well as developing systems to fight enemy drones, plus tactics and new plans in case Putin starts listening to Medvedev and thinks he's in a declared war against NATO.

Unfortunately, the man is a brain dead cultist and his plan is to decapitate the military by removing any of the command structure deemed insufficiently loyal to His Radiance....just at the time Russia appears to be ready to pick a serious fight against the entire west, including us.

[sprinkleeninow]

29. I've had one of those days and misread the following as "brain dead CUTLET."

"Unfortunately, the man is a brain dead cultist"

[Warpy]

35. Hey, that works just as well

Just start calling him Pork Chop, we'll all get it but they won't.

[sprinkleeninow]

36. 🫡 😆

[orangecrush]

21. He wants them there IN PERSON

That has some ugly possibilities.

Here's info from Google AI -

"Quantico is home to the FBI, specifically the FBI Academy, which is the Federal Bureau of Investigation's primary training facility and includes the FBI Laboratory Division and the Operational Technology Division (OTD). While the Marine Corps base in Quantico, Virginia, also houses the Marine Corps University and the DEA Training Academy, it is most notably known for the FBI's significant presence and comprehensive training programs for agents and analysts."

[Sneederbunk]

22. Hope they are allowed to leave the room.

[orangecrush]

23. Quantico is home to the FBI

As well as USMC.

[Cheezoholic]

24. I think he sent the order when he was shitfaced and when he woke up from that bender the wheels were in motion

Occam's Razor

25. Loyalty oath might be Miller's Idea...

from Wikipedia:

Hitler Oath
The Hitler Oath—also referred in English as the Soldier's Oath—refers to the oaths of allegiance sworn by officers and soldiers of the Wehrmacht and civil servants of Nazi Germany between 1934 and 1945. The oath pledged personal loyalty to Adolf Hitler rather than loyalty to the Weimar Constitution of the country. Historians view the personal oath of the Nazi Germany as an important psychological element to obey orders for committing war crimes, atrocities, and genocide. During the Nuremberg trials, many German officers unsuccessfully attempted to use the oath as a defence against charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

26. A Bootlicking Convention?

His Tangerine Majesty’s Strokefest? Warrior Wankoff?
Strategic Brown-nosing?

[BurnDoubt]

27. Here is where we find out who our friends are....................

[popsdenver]

30. Bringing the ENTIRE U.S. military's TOP Admirals and Generals

from AROUND THE WORLD, all to be in ONE place at ONE time???????????????????? AND making the time and location world knowledge?????

THAT IS ABSOLUTE LUNACY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wouldn't even think of speculating, of the possibilities of the meeting, in writing, what they could possibly be doing.......

Everyday gets crazier and crazier by a factor of a thousand plus percent..................

[Pepsidog]

31. Prepare for Insurrection Act after government shut down.

[Emile]

33. OECU top secret / Operation Epstein Cover Up

[mahatmakanejeeves]

37. The timing of the event has been of particular concern: The speech is set for Sept. 30, the last day of the fiscal year.
