I would imagine they’re not allowing service weapons inside that meeting…

I read that the entire meeting was an hour long? Does anyone know if that’s true?

Boy…..if Hegseth is doing this on tRump’s orders, that is the ultimate example of “Do as I say, not as I do”.

They didn’t even have an arm wrestling contest. How are we supposed to know who is the manliest?

Should they get iron cross tattoos as well?

Norman Schwarzkopf, who he indirectly praised for leadership in the Gulf War, was a bit on the pudgy side…

Did these generals have to pay $18,000 to attend this “alpha male” symposium?

Honestly, this is excellent. I was worried this was going to be a “everyone swear a personal loyalty oath to the Cheeto-in Chief” or declaration of some random invasion. Instead I can’t imagine that any of these highly accomplished military figures are going to come away from the meeting respecting him MORE.

The ultimate “this meeting could have been an email”. Imagine the the millions wasted in travel and logistics to say ” Do you even lift bro?”. What an expensive joke we’re paying for.

He keeps saying secretary of war. That’s not a real thing. Someone’s gonna find that loophole and exploit it.

If any of the military leaders had the liver enzyme labs that the Defense sec has they’d be court-martialed.

If the secretary of war can have a make-up room, then every officer in the military can have a spray tan and smokey eye and spit Maga talking points every time a microphone is around. They real enemy is the independent news agencies.

I hope that he told that to Pumpkin Spice Palpatine, since he is the Commander-of-Cheese and morbidly obese.

Where does the secretary of war find time to exercise between all the hard drinking he does?

I did 22 years in the military. I had to PT test at least once a year. While drunky looks ‘fit’ I don’t think he could do a PT test, let along the Pedo in Chief

I’m hoping the generals remember their oath to country and constitution today rather than listening to idiocy.

Damn, this might be the ultimate sign of the burger reichs incompetence, an ANTI-AMERICAN authoritarian dictatorship is completely reliant on having a loyal to a fault military and its increasingly looking like the troops are not on board with what is plainly a dog shit wannabe authoritarian interloping goonsquad trying to take over their world and authority.
this is intentional, it looks like an attempt at ritual humiliation to shock the troops into a type of behavior/outcome they want which can work but in this case was done very poorly and the downstream morale effects compound far more than they can ever realize if they were this sloppy
the military is silos on silos who echo chamber hard when they get on a certain resonance and the admin looks like they are really talking for granted the massive distance between their world in politics and the civi world and how it really is in the rank and file because no one in the admin is from the rank and file, they are just goons/grifters and scumbags who all failed upwards in life who only have their positions because they are willing to kiss the ring of a petty tyrant who they will happily betray if the house of cards looks likes it gonna cave
house of cards need loyal guards but hey, what do I know

My last command before getting out was on an aircraft carrier. Retention and recruiting is down, so we didn’t have a ton of people. I worked in Combat, and most of my Sailors were radar/data link operators and weapons system operators. They defended the ship by knowing how to use and maintain those systems. Operation of those systems required a sharp mind, the ability to quickly read a battlespace on the screen, and studying hard to know the characteristics of every enemy platform and weapon.
If someone forced them out of the military because they couldn’t do enough pushups or get their BMI down to some random aesthetic based number, I would be absolutely furious. There’s a shortage as is, and the ability to run 3 miles has nothing to do with their ability to utilize their systems and fight the ship.
