Let's have every single general, admiral, and other very high ranking military personnel in the same room with the secretary of war and the president. Oh, and let's announce it publicly ahead of time. What could go wrong?

JFC Pete is so fucking stupid. A smart, motivated, and malicious individual could have wiped out all of our military leadership in an instant.

A quick reminder

he declared war on American citizens yesterday

He encouraged war crimes against American citizens

He told them to prepare for war

Trump told them they are loyal to him now or they’re fired

This was a "look how powerful I am that I can demand you all show up to here me rant" meeting on Pete's part. So yes, a waste of time, and money.

The best part is that both him and trump prepared a "funny" speech with pauses for cheers and applauses but were too stupid to realize the difference between a military meeting (listening in silence at blank face) and a political rally (cheering at whatever you say, even if it doesn't make sense)

Remember that conspiracy theory about JFK being taken out because he crossed the military complex?

Well now we can see how this experiment goes, piss off every capable military leader, and see how long this attempted dictatorship lasts.

Something like 150 people sitting in this picture and 6 black men and 3 women. But there's too much diversity in the military!!!!!!!!!

How to waste money 🙂

"in USA they can only choose between two haircuts"

Although he called and made the speech for general, the fact this was broadcast tells me this speech was not for the generals…

I am glad to see several skin tones. There are not enough women in this picture.

The drunk TV guy with a make-up room tells generals he wants manly men. Did I get that right?

All to watch Fat Man and Little Boy.

Honestly, I’m just happy they didn’t lock them in and burn the building down.

What's the difference between the green and blue uniform?

Meanwhile Pete Hegseth: 'We have too much diversity!!!!!' and bans beards

I don't think the meeting goals are what has been discussed.

This might have been : 1) prepare for war with Iran, or 2) gather intelligence on these people to see who might be a problem they need to get rid of before the 4 years mark.

I think there was more to this than just pointlessness. Say, you want to have a meeting with specific leaders, but you know that bringing them in will get out, and folks may be able to figure out what you're up to based on who you bring in for the meeting.

So, you bring every leader in for a pointless meeting publicly, while then having a secret meeting afterwards with the actual leaders you wanted to talk with.

Who they actually wanted to talk to, i don't know, but my guess it was the leaders stationed in the Middle East, based on all the ships we've been sending to the region, as well as Trump's ultimatum to Hamas, and the recently announced plan to turn Gaza over to Tony Blair. I have a strong feeling Trump is sending American troops in to help Israel take over Gaza entirely.

Brings new meaning to the word "uniform."

This is right out of a Sacha Cohen movie..Haffaz Aladeen.. complaining to military the missiles should be pointy.

Those generals agree with 80% of what was said and will 100% follow whatever orders come down. Just because they grimace at stupid meetings doesn’t mean they are the peoples’ friends.

I bet every single one of them is thinking "This little toe-rag is my boss?"

The best part was "You're not allowed to do that (laugh)", said by a guy who tried to invade Chicago.

I'm convinced what we saw was just a distraction for the public.

They definitely did the more nefarious shit off camera.

I disagree. An email wouldn't have captured the full scope of Hegseth's immaturity and desperation. Now, all our military leaders have seen it first hand. Well done.

I bet those people shoved in the back corners are even more pissed to be there

I bet they all walked away with something better! Their new Russian friends who will always be there! Listening in...

This was distraction. The main reason for the meeting was to galvanize the troops for world war 3.

Make note of the ones that are smiling.
