I'm telling you, Kegsbreath ordered this meeting when he was shitfaced and had to go through with it when he sobered up

[Cheezoholic]

I have no other explanation for this. And FatFuck had to show up when he heard about it because he thought it was generals from countries around the world, not ours. And when he announced that he couldn't go back on it when someone told him they were our generals. It was that insane

2. Great way to denegrate officers & waste a tremendous amount of OUR tax $$$

4. I think he expected more support for himself, and Trump.

At the least he saw it as a chance to cull out the disloyal Generals, or maybe intimidate them into taking a loyalty oath.
Now he knows there may not be any Generals who stand with him and Trump.
Not good when Trump is just looking for an excuse to go all military state on Americans.

Of course they know how inept and unstable Hegseth is. They get reports of his behavior through the military grapevine.
If Trump attempts a coup, one of the first casualties in defense of America will be Hegseth. He's not respected as a leader.

5. I personally believe Titanic Tito has been hankering for a rally for quite some time...

Of course, his life long psychopathy requires exponential escalation to feel the slightest twinge of a stuffed mushroom chubby.

It’s only going to get worse. He is to the point he wants to see people killed and maimed horribly in real time.

6. Hegeseth sobered up?

Come on, nobody could believe that

7. He probably doesn't have enough blood in his alcohol system to achieve sobriety. n/t

8. MaddowBlog-Why Pete Hegseth's pitch to generals and admirals was even worse than expected

Did the secretary bring generals and admirals in from around the world so he could treat them like a CPAC audience? Actually, yes, he did.

Why Pete Hegseth’s pitch to generals and admirals was even worse than expected

But having heard the secretary’s remarks, he proved to be even worse than expected. Reuters reported:

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth slammed ‘fat generals’ and diversity initiatives that he said led to decades of decay in the military and told a rare gathering of commanders on Tuesday they should resign if they don’t support his agenda. ‘Foolish and reckless political leaders set the wrong compass heading and we lost our way. We became the “Woke Department,”’ Hegseth said as he kicked off the event in Quantico, Virginia. ‘But not anymore,’ he said.

Choosing the worst moment from Hegseth’s bizarre and unnecessary speech is admittedly challenging. Was it his boasts about firing qualified military leaders? Or maybe his condemnation of diversity initiatives and climate change as “s---” that the military will no longer care about?.....

Maybe the lowest of the low points was Hegseth’s comment that seemed to open the door to a new attitude toward war crimes. “We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don’t fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country,” he declared. “No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement.”

Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."

In other words, Hegseth spent millions of taxpayer dollars to bring generals and admirals in from around the world so that he could treat them like a CPAC audience.

As for those in attendance who might’ve been uncomfortable with the secretary’s absurdities, he extended some advice to them, too. “If the words I’m speaking today are making your heart sink, then you should do the honorable thing and resign,” Hegseth said.
