Fox & Friends Weekend host Pete Hegseth did this? It must be terribly important and not just an expensive diversion from current events like Gaza, Ukraine, and the Epstein files

    We're about to do something stupid, aren't we?

    Everyone knows optimal strategic planning is to gather all your high ranking folks in one place but then also make sure you tell everyone ahead of time that all your leadership will be in that specific place and when they will be there.

    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.

    sowing confusion and alarm after the Trump administration’s firing of numerous senior leaders this year.

    There are about 800 generals and admirals spread across the United States and dozens of other countries and time zones. Hegseth’s order, people familiar with the matter said, applies to all senior officers with the rank of brigadier general or above, or their Navy equivalent,

    Let's see current events are likely government shutdown, Russian incursions into NATO airspace, Trump suddenly supports Ukraine, national guard deployments internally, and of course purges. Anything I miss from project 2025?

    Seems like a huge security risk to gather all those high profile commanders in one place.

    Sort of? It's not like anyone would, or even could, do anything about it

    The real problem is the chaos of pulling all of these people off of their jobs to appease toddlers. These people actually have shit to do

    I specifically adjusted the title so that people not that deep into USA lore can understand it.

    Nah, I think it would be a fun way for them to organically discover that little piece of new fuckery as well.

    I’m „them” (not American) and just do what I can so that news here are not so US-centric. It doesn’t really matter what things are called as long as meaning is conveyed properly and what US does lately is requiring lots of attention to keep up with conservative lingo.

    To that end, I'd say that the renaming of the department is significant, as it provides insight into their machinations.
