Hey troops now listen up.

This is extracted from a memo by Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of War in his own trousers, the Secretary of Defence if you're tin-foil-hat-less.

"The Department's strength will be defined by our unity, combat readiness, warrior ethos, and commitment to standards by every member of the Joint Force."

Such rare insight.

He also says you've all got to watch his #QuanticoLecture. There's buckets in the cupboard of the A/V Room. Leave them clean for the next joe. #Hegseth

Wondered how to understand the function of the Hegseth / Trump #QuanticoLecture.

The assumption I'm making is that the lecture had a purpose. And didn't happen because of a random wobble in Hegseth's brain.

What's it mean when a mafia don calls all his captains to a face to face meeting?

A costly and risky display of dominance.
The don insecure?

A display of self-confidence.
Who's said Hegseth's a chicken?

The lecture's content was aimed at Trumpist voters.
To distract from Epstein?

One interpretation of the Hegseth/Trump Quantico lecture to the top US military is that they aimed to humiliate them, establish dominance.

"Hey boys, we've ordered you here today to make it clear that you're lackeys to an incompetent grifter-felon-child-abuser and a glory-hound drunkard army-reject."
