It certainly wasn’t necessary for them to be there in person, but it’s probably a good thing they got to see in person Trump stumble over his feet and words, beg for applause, threaten them with firing if they didn’t, and demand they wage war against Americans without reservation or regard for law to service Trump personally.

And Trump expected applause and cheering when he came out? He’s not at one of his MAGA rallies. These are serious people wondering why you are wasting their time.

Are they seated by rank and branch? I’m just curious if the bored can hide in the back.

Why is there a woman and a black man there??

What an embarrassment. I can’t believe people voted for this shit 😂

Served long enough and did enough stupid things without breaking a rule to know the face of a leader who wants to chew you out but can’t at the moment. Almost all of them look like they wanna straighten those 2 assholes out

Where are the “fat” ones?? I see some with pretty broad shoulders, one with jowls, but everyone else looks fairly fit, especially the women and the blacks..

There are 838 flag officers in the U.S. military. Some of their travel was by car, but overwhelmingly it was by plane from as far as Japan, South Korea, etc. If we *conservatively* put their travel at $1000 each, (counting per diem, lodging, rental car; and this is if they travelled without their aide de camp and entourage) it cost almost a million dollars for two men, whose military experience combined is decades less than any of the audience, to blather on about nothingness.

I feel sorry for them too. Very disrespectful as well as dangerous to get them into one location and tell the whole world.

The point was that the Trump administration wanted you all to know that you’re their bitch and they can summon you at any time. That was the whole point. You’re beholden to the fascist government. The words spoken at the event were just icing. Don’t like it? Trump told you you can leave and be removed. Bend the knee, or lose your job.
When the fuck will you open your eyes?! You’re supporting fascism!

How much did it cost logistically for this? Atleast they took the money from minorities and women college programs to pay for this

I feel sorry for them to an extent, but i am not going to feel sorry for them if they follow unlawful orders to attack Americans just going about their lives and yes that includes practicing free speech and the right to assemble. And not just attack, but they said they are getting rid of the “rules of war” that tie their hands. They want to do this in American cities!!! with our military that we fund with our tax dollars!!!
What trump and hegseth are asking them to do is clearly against the Constitution, to which they took an oath.

Lol dont. Any one of them could stand up & start the end of this nonsense. Spineless bunch

I hope this waste of time and resources seriously enlightened them enough to reconsider a great many issues with the current administration.

Don’t feel sorry for all of them, about half of them or more support this

Isn’t taking a picture of all the Generals a huge security issue?

As a citizen, I find this completely disrespectful. These men and women have dedicated their lives to this country. Moving all over the world. They are limited to the amount of stuff they can own because of weight restrictions when they move. Their children are pulled out of schools and shuttled all over. It’s not easy being apart of a career military family. Calling them fat and out of shape without opening a file is disgraceful. Telling them to swear allegiance or quit? Unconscionable. I hate this administration and their little orange cretin! I HATE HIM SO MUCH!

I really wish every single one of them had walked out. Trumpty Dumpty couldn’t do shit if they stood together,

The scariest part is that every part of high-ranking brass was in that one room, with their faces on record.

I sincerely hope that each of them consulted a lawyer before this meeting so they can be advised how to proceed with this attempt at dictatorship.

That’s a lot of grey hair or balding for 40-50 yrs olds…
As a 20+ year veteran this absolutely disgusts me.
These people don’t care, and the people who are checks and balances against this rampant authoritarian bullshit are afraid to do anything to stop it (or are all aboard).
I kinda want Germany, Italy, and Japan to invade us and “return the favor.”

Hegseth was strong (but ultra scary) Trump was weak, tired and rambling.

I’ll feel sorry for them once I see them actually honoring their oath and either resisting Trump or outright deposing him
