'Can you imagine the disdain?' Ex-GOP insider says Pete Hegseth setting stage for a 'coup'

7. I think he's trying to say that this "recall" will piss off the flags and command NCOs.

Especially since most of them are dealing with an uncertain NDAA, and potential government shutdown.
Hegseth just made them take anywhere from $3k to $20k out of the command budget to pay for the travel, which could be the difference between someone in the command traveling later on during the year or not, potentially deferring critical maintenance or training.
A good number of them are probably paying for this on their own credit cards, and hope they might be able to get reimbursed before Christmas.
Ya, they aren't happy at all. And if all this is going to be is a get together pep talk, they'll be even more unhappy.
