The Pentagon has summoned military officials from around the world for a gathering in Virginia. Even top generals and their staffs don’t know the reason for the meeting.
10 bucks says Hegseth meant to meet with a couple generals, but because he was drunk he accidentally sent the orders to every general and admiral in the military.
Auto-complete changing Al into All Generals instead of Al Johnson.
I will make that bet.
I 2nd the bet!
Military take over of sesame street
I fucking knew it
well the pizza index was high last night. that market’s just opening so keep an eye
How high was the pizza index before us bombed Iran
Well we had the horst wessel shooting time for night of the long knives?
More like the way Hitler had all the generals summoned in 1935 to take an oath to him personally instead of to the Weimar Republic.
Can anyone added accidentally to the signal group brief us on what happened in the meeting please.
Maybe they’re all getting a suprise ice cream party.
I’m thinking red wedding.
There is no way this is a good thing. Summoning a single general to a meeting without giving any context is not a thing that is done. Summoning all of them and not stating the meeting purpose or providing read ahead charts or pre-briefs… that’s incredibly ominous.
I’m hoping it is only him directing them to call it Dept of War (DoW) on all official comms instead of DoD.
Its also ridiculously irresponsible.
There is a lot of discussion to be had over the actual value of a general in modern warfare (where individual soldiers have tactical value and so much decision making happens at the company or even squad level). But no discussion is required to say what a ridiculously juicy target “every high ranking military official” is and the massive damage to morale and organization that would ensue.
Yeah that’s a lot of HVT in one area.
I wouldn’t be super shocked if this turns into loyalty pledge-a-palooza.
That’s my guess as well. “Swear a blood oath to King Trump personally or you’re fired right now”.
I’m skeptical of that.
This will be hundreds of “military men”. Yes, the vast majority are pencil pushers who are in worse shape than the average divorced dad “trying to get back out there”. Even if they are bringing every single chud they can find, they are still going to be the “weaker” group. And chuds hate feeling weak.
If it were just the inevitable loyalty oaths, I would expect that to happen in more isolated groups. And while it is always possible that they could batch the generals into the room to kiss the skidmarked ring, that still feels like a risk when they might not get the photo op they want at the end.
My money is on “planning how to secede from the United Nations”. Aka “planning to go to war with basically all of NATO and a bunch of Global South countries who want revenge”. Whether that goes anywhere is a different discussion, but “all of our generals made some great plans” is a talking point they would want.
When Saddam took power he called a meeting of the party leadership and publicly arrested those he suspected of “treason”. He even had the event recorded.
Yeah but Drunky Smurf is a total coward
Vance and Hegseth arent, though…
"Ich schwöre bei Gott diesen heiligen Eid, daß ich dem Führer des Deutschen Reiches und Volkes, Adolf Hitler, dem Oberbefehlshaber der Wehrmacht unbedingten Gehorsam leisten und als tapferer Soldat bereit sein will, jederzeit für diesen Eid mein Leben einzusetzen.“
What, with the current administration, is not ridiculously irresponsible?
They have not yet decided to ban speed limits and seat belts, but I wouldn’t hold my breath on that
I remember hearing a story about some country’s leader started gathering their legislators and then claimed he had uncovered a list of names conspiring against him, then announced the names one by one, got the soldiers to lead them to a hallway, and executed them, then the remainder of them pledge loyalty to the leader.
Something like that, forgot what country it was. But this sounds so familiar. Uncanny parallel.
A video of that event exists. It was Saddam Hussein.
Sadaam.
Yeah, definitely talking about Iraq. Here is Hitch talking about it.
But these are the Generals, not congressmen…
They are preparing the Military on the fight on Antifa.
Aka: Martial Law
They are preparing the Military on the fight on Antifa
I suspect they are informing the generals they are about to begin an invasion of (take your pick) country.
No. This is something else. If it was an invasion plan there would be the usual high level meetings at the Pentagon and Whitehouse. Then orders would be issued via the usual secured communication.
The only reason to bring all of them in is a for a political purity test and or mass firing.
I mean, theoretically, shouldn’t a literal room full of top Generals be able to organize and have all their bosses placed under Military Arrest for issuing corrupt orders? Our soldiers are not supposed to obey corrupt orders.
My guess is Venezuela.
Or something like making his horse a consul?
“remember in 2001 when we sent you on a pointless crusade against a nebulous idea? We’re doing that again but harder.”
He wants to tailor butch new uniforms and enact stricter eye shadow guidelines?
Is this going to be like Squid Game, Pentagon Edition?
My guess? Loyalty pledge.
'Murica right now:

That or/and a purge
“Ladies and Gentlmen, we have a dire situation at hand that threatens the security of this great nation. I’ve gathered you all here today to help me convince the President that the orange tiles are not lava.”
We’re going to war with somebody.
And all the times I’ve heard MAGA tell me Biden and the Dems were warmongers.
But, I could be wrong. I always admit that.

It’s always projection. 100% of the time
Epstein’s Law: every accusation from a Conservative [of being guilty of a thing] is a confession [of being guilty of the thing]
It’s polulist tactics 101: blame all your wrongdoings on your enemy/opposition. All they can reply with is “no you!” Wow, strong defense, as if anyone is going to believe that.
Maybe it’s like the department of justice: find me a war that will help me politically. I’ll fire anyone who doesnt.
But shit, Venezuelans need to be stocking up on supplies. Effing MAGAts have already been laying the groundwork
But, I could be wrong.
They renamed the Department of Defense to Department of War. So yeah, you’re probably wrong. It’s probably just a military high tea with a karaoke contest or something.
They need to christen their newly renamed Department of War with a war of some sort. Otherwise why go through all that trouble of renaming it. That would just look stupid.
Let’s just hope it’s not against US citizens.
Better Americans fight Americans than anyone else. Fix your shit.
trump is already at war with them.
yeah it better be just some more brown people! this is american tax dollars after all
“Antifa” they are going to war with American citizens. They are going to purge anyone who objects
Two things can be true at the same time. I know this must be shocking news to you.
