Has he ever heard of ZOOM? This REGIME so easily wastes our hard-earned money on what I call another “trump stunt”. It’s stupid and dangerous to gather them all together in one place just for SHOW.

I just hope they remember and live by the oaths they took to serve and protect the Constitution from all enemies; especially this DOMESTIC ONE!

Surely this will anger the generals more as they are forced to leave their jobs, just to be props in a movie! I know I would.

White men with limp dicks have to keep upping the ante to prove they are not limp. Petey is going to end up looking foolish and in need of serious help.

Another huge waste of money. With current technology this could occur live worldwide without anyone traveling.

What a waste of taxpayers money. 🥲 Meanwhile, cuts to health care, science research and defunding schools continue to happen in this country. My hope is that the generals protect the Constitution and the rule of law. 🇺🇸

Excuse me repeating this post as it may not get seen. It’s an excerpt from a NY Times article. It is very unsettling:

In a social media post on Friday, Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, who is retired from the Army, compared the gathering to a “surprise assembly” in 1935 at which German generals were “required to swear a personal oath” to the Nazis and Adolf Hitler.

Mr. Hegseth responded laconically to the post: “Cool story, General.”

Patton would have sent Petey to a literal woodshed for daring to do something like this and wasting his time. He's gonna lecture generals on grooming????? What is he drinking???

As banal as a military pep rally sounds, I am relieved that it appears to be this rather some sort of loyalty test preceding a coup. I really wonder if there isn’t more at play

Exactly what I was getting at, but you’re way more on the nose. I do not think people can grasp that concept yet. Or ever, maybe.

😱All the Heads of America’s Military in one place to kowtow to Trump is scary and risky to national security.

I’d like to see a command sargent major and command master chief give Hegseth a speech about the warrior ethos.
