Pete Hegseth Orders Top Military Leaders to Attend Mystery Meeting

Hundreds of generals and admirals have been ordered to Virginia in the coming days, according to four defense officials who spoke to The Intercept on the condition of anonymity. The conclave of general and flag officers is unprecedented and alarming, the sources said.

The officials said that the military’s top brass were, on Wednesday, instructed to report to a Marine Corps base in Quantico, Virginia, on or around September 30 to meet with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. Two sources believed that the timing was pegged to the potential government shutdown.

The officials were unsure of the exact reasons behind the extraordinary order. They speculated about the purpose, wondering if it might foretell a culling of general officers; a significant reorganization of the military command structure; a threat to eschew contact with the press; or a loyalty oath about putting Trump administration priorities above all else. One source, somewhat in jest, evoked the phrase “coup d’état,” later clarifying they meant a gutting of leaders who might question Trump’s policies.

“It is beyond highly irregular to have all the operational and command GOFOs tasked to fly to DC and also not tell any of them why,” said one of the officials, using military shorthand for general and flag officers. “To say the military leadership is anxious would be an understatement.”

“The Secretary of War will be addressing his senior military leaders early next week,” chief Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell told The Intercept when asked about the fears expressed by the officials.

Most of the military’s top officers — those with the rank of brigadier general or above, or their naval equivalent — are required to attend, the officials said. They said that even top brass in conflict zones and forward areas are among those ordered to the meeting. One official told The Intercept that the order was “madness” and unlike any order in living memory “or probably ever.” Another said that calling home generals and admirals from front-line stations was “reckless” but in keeping with the Trump administration’s efforts to keep the top echelons of the officer corps on a tight leash.

Kegger IMO

[TheNewGirl 1,601]

There's obviously a reason they don't want the information getting out to the press.

If Hegseth had said why, it'd be all over the new and potentially compromising our country and/or the military. 

I am fine with him not sharing information with them; someone is clearly a blabber mouth if they run to the press and be like, "He's not telling us WHHHYYYYY...." Just go to the meeting and STFU.

Yup.   Not you got guys like Ron, who for some reason, believes he should know all the details so HE can decide if the meeting is relevant.

Either something very big or he’s thinning the herd of wokies at the leadership level 

[RaiderHaters Revenge 4,473]

omg thats it!!! thats never happened

STFU you retard

if I was the Trump admin, I would send every person a diff email with diff details, that way you can expose the enemy, whoever leaked this IS the enemy

hopefully hes organizing them all to fight the war against the terrorists within the democrat party, which obviously condones executions, assassinations and terror threats

Bolded seem like the most likely reasons. That or they're trying to figure out how to pull the military out of every base on earth and re-station them all in blue states/cities. Yaknow, for our own good.

As stated, The "they that speculated" clearly are out to get the President since they are blabbering to the media.  And since we know they are it makes sense they would have a liberal reason as to why the meeting is taking place.

 

Damn, some are dumb as crap in here.

My guess is he’s getting the military brass together to tell them this is going to be a new non-woke hypermasculine military, led by a couple TV personalities who wear makeup.

Thank heavens the ones calling the shots for the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal have been dismissed.

[Cdub100 3,995]

Hopefully, he starts the day with a PT test, and those who fail are stripped of their rank. Then he explains the parties over. Send the traitors, gays, and trans to court-martial.

So a leak by an anonymous source and hayseeds ask why are they announcing it

[Hardcore troubadour 15,860]

Maybe they are trying to find the leakers. If true, court martial and hang them.

I’m going to guess it’s about that orb that got hit with a hellfire missile which just bounced off earlier this month.

She's right. So when they find out who leaked it to the press "anonymously," those people should be lined up and shot.

Another liberal claims to be plugged into the what the military is doing behind the scenes. Poor squiddy lives in fantasy land. But then again, so do most liberals.
