The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

That is a very real possibility.

Leaks Show Hegseth’s Selfish Reason for Calling in Generals

The former Fox News personality, now a top Trump official, reportedly wants to make a video of his brief speech.

As it was put to CNN, the “guys with the stars on their shoulders make for a better audience from an optics standpoint.”

The defense secretary’s team plans to record his speech and then release it publicly. It will also reportedly be amplified by the White House.

The defense secretary, an Army veteran, has repeatedly shown disdain for “woke” military leaders, ordered a reduction of four-star generals, ranted about what he calls the “warrior ethos,” and shared content of himself working out.

The article also mentions an assembly of flag officers in Berlin, in 1935, to replace their oath to the Weimar constitution, with an oath to Hitler.
