Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will meet with top military leaders next week, the Pentagon confirmed Thursday, following a report that the rare gathering will include hundreds of generals and admirals.
“The Secretary of War will be addressing his senior military leaders early next week,” chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement to The Hill, offering no additional details.
The Washington Post first reported that Hegseth earlier this week ordered hundreds of the U.S. military’s generals and admirals to gather on short notice and without a stated reason. The meeting is expected to take place on Tuesday, Sept. 30 at a Marine Corps base in Quantico, Va., according to the Post.
More than a dozen people familiar with the matter told the outlet that the directive was sent to virtually all of the military’s top commanders worldwide — all senior officers with the rank of brigadier general or above, their Navy equivalent and their top enlisted advisers — roughly 800 generals or admirals.
The unexpected confab has created confusion and alarm, as there has not been a defense secretary in recent history who has ordered such a large number of the military’s top officers to gather like this.

Two possibilities:
The regime started relieving high ranking officers that were female, POCs, or supported "woke ideology" very soon after the inaguration. Maybe they are going all in now, and purging all flag rank officers who don't fit their Christian nationalist ideal?
Or, getting ready for the invasion of Venezuela.
I bet it's option 1, because they don't need every flag rank officer in the country, to knock over another banana republic.

I expect they will be given a choice a loyalty oath to Trump or a demotion and their resignation.

Could be option #3- a massive deployment in the streets, ports and rivers of America.

He’s determined to find out which of them revealed to the media his Secret Service code name, WhiskeyLeaks.

Yes, we have no bananas....
However, a big meeting makes it a VERY TEMPTING TARGET.

What a great opportunity for some enemy country to attempt a decapitation attack. I hope that details of this meeting - such as date and location don’t become public.
Uh oh.
We are being led by morons.
