| Hegseth Orders Rare, Urgent Meeting of US Generals, Admirals | ||
| 2025-09-26 | ||
Something's up! Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has ordered all top U.S. military commanders, worldwide, to convene at Quantico Marine Corps Base next week for a no-notice meeting with no published agenda. To call this unprecedented might be an understatement. The order covers about 800 general officers and admirals, and each of the attendees is directed to bring their senior enlisted adviser with them; “All general officers in command in grade O-7 through O-10 and their general officer senior enlisted advisers are directed to attend within operational constraints.” There could be any number of purposes for the meeting, but the fact that no agenda has been announced and the senior noncommissioned officer from each command headed by a GOFO has been directed to attend indicates that personnel issues will be one subject under discussion. The lack of an agenda also suggests that something sensitive will be discussed, and Hegseth doesn't want to confront a unified GOFO position, but instead may be seeking ideas. Hegseth has made no secret of his desire to trim the GOFO ranks by 20%. What better way to do that than at a major conference, set up like a Red Cross blood bank, where names are called off a roster and those selected are escorted from the room, under guard, to sign their retirement package? As I've pointed out, the Charlie Kirk assassination shows the military does have an extremism problem. Only it's not good ol' boys with their F-150 truck with a rifle rack and Confederate States of America battle flag in the back window. It is the trans/furry/green-haired/DEI-engorged part of the military that is profoundly dangerous. It is also very likely that Hegseth will want to discuss the epidemic of non-compliance and malicious compliance wreaking havoc on the policies Hegseth and his team are attempting to put into place. For instance, trans members of the military are still being promoted even though they have been ordered discharged. As far as I can tell, a single member of the Armed Forces has been reinstated after being forced out due to their refusal to get the COVID vaccine. DEI training on insider threats continues despite Hegseth's order banning such nonsense. The Judge Advocate General Corps, the stronghold of everything leftist in all services, survived an early decapitation attack and roared back more woke and more disloyal and vindictive than ever. They openly discuss how to circumvent Department of War directives and frequently refer to their commanders who are following lawful orders from the Secretary of War as "nazis" and "war criminals."
The lack of details surrounding the gathering has some fearing a looming purge. War Secretary Pete Hegseth has previously said he wants to cut 20% of senior generals and admirals. The order, first reported by The Washington Post, applies to senior officers with the rank of brigadier general or above or their Navy equivalent and their top enlisted advisers. In May, Hegseth issued a directive to slash about 100 generals and admirals, along with a "minimum" 20% cut to four-star officers. He ordered an additional 10% reduction in general and flag officers across the military. The secretary called the reductions part of his "less generals, more GIs policy." According to Hegseth, there are currently 44 four-star and flag officers across the military, making for a ratio of one general to 1,400 troops, compared to the ratio during World War II of one general to 6,000 troops. It comes as administration officials have been preparing for a new national defense strategy that makes homeland defense a top priority, where the strategy had long had a focus on pivoting to the Indo-Pacific. That strategy is expected to guide a global force posture review that could see major changes to the positioning of U.S. troops at bases across the globe. | ||
