Trump "horns in" on Hegseth's "comical" plan to lecture top command on "warrior culture"

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

A retired U.S. Army general questioned the motivation for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordering military commanders from their posts around the globe to a lecture in Virginia.

The Pentagon chief is calling hundreds of senior military leaders to a Marine Corps base in Quantico for a pep talk about the warrior ethos, along with President Donald Trump. And retired general Barry McCaffrey told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" the plan was ill-conceived at best.

"I think Secretary Hegseth had no idea what he was doing calling a no-notice meeting without specifying what the topic would be. I think he did want to harangue the senior enlisted and military leaders of the country about warrior culture."

"It's a hard one to pull off," he added. "These people, as you say, grew up in 20 years of combat, from lieutenant or E-1 to the end of their career they're now serving, and then I think President Trump had no idea what was going on, learned of it, horns in. This ought to be a very unusual, almost comical session. Why did he draw attention to this, as if we were going to go to war over what, Greenland or something? So it's a real mess."

8. In addition our Secretary of War celebrates war crimes

And atrocities and believes punishing them is weakness, which is against the military code. Indeed, punishing war crimes is strength and shows thr military has their shit together. Meanwhile Pete is remotr bombing speedboats with God knows who is in them.
