As U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth orders military brass from all around the world to meet with him for unstated reasons, he may be facing a form of military uprising, according to an independent political strategist who worked on former President George W. Bush's campaign.

Political strategist Steve Schmidt on Saturday published an article called Questions for the generals, in which he argues that Hegseth is setting the stage for a potential "coup."

"Of course, the mind cannot help but drift towards the nefarious when the stupidity overwhelms every conceivable explanation for why the entire senior leadership of the US military would be ordered to depart their commands, and assemble at a precise geographic point at a precise time," he wrote. "Were the scenario the basis for a movie depicting the beginning of a coup it would be dismissed as too far-fetched because nothing so absurd could ever be allowed to happen in real life — not to mention the cost, waste of taxpayer money and massive logistics involved. Yet, here we are."

Hey Ernst............., as Schmidt said " the mind cannot help but drift towards the nefarious when the stupidity overwhelms every conceivable explanation for why the entire senior leadership of the US military would be ordered to depart their commands, and assemble at a precise geographic point at a precise time," he wrote. "Were the scenario the basis for a movie depicting the beginning of a coup it would be dismissed as too far-fetched because nothing so absurd could ever be allowed to happen in real life — not to mention the cost, waste of taxpayer money and massive logistics involved. Yet, here we are."


So Ernst do you still get that warm fuzzy feeling that you helped put this ass**** in this position...........when you both were in combat did all of the higher ups meet in one spot..............your vote for this disgrace is a disgrace just like you are............
