Hundreds of Generals, Admirals, and very very senior Enlisted members of the Armed Forces have just been ordered to appear in Virginia with in the next few days by Pete Hegseth, who was a Major not too long ago.

 

Those of you that served get just what a flex this is. I bet there are some bruised egos and back channel cussing going on. I find it a bit amusing.

If Hegseth reports to the Commander-in-Chief, then the brass and grunts report to Hegseth.

Sure hope that there's no terror attack on all of them when they convene -- perish the thought.

"I found a wonderful hiding place in the Pentagon," said the other lion.  "I eat one general per week.  It'll be years before they notice that anyone's missing!"

Panic Seizes Pentagon As Hegseth Calls No-Notice, No-Agenda Meeting of All Generals in Command Billets

If the meeting is unprecedented, then so, too, is the bellyaching.  [...]

Everyone knows that the military is actually run by those NCOs ranked Sergeant and above. Officers are merely there as window dressing. 🫡

Agree. Former officer btw you forgot the sp4 mafia

 

I think that is Pete's goal More soldiers and NCOs and less senior brass.
