Hegseth’s Self-Centered Reason for Calling in Generals Leaks - Lemmy.World

The gathering, which is scheduled to take place Tuesday, was described as a “pep rally.” But bringing hundreds of generals to Quantico, including those stationed abroad, could prove to be an extremely expensive pep talk.

There’s absolutely nothing the military in general hates more than this shit, and there’s nothing high ranking officers specifically hate more than being treated like common soldiers.

This isn’t going to inspire loyalty, it’s going to turn the top brass against this administration for various reasons.

They’re just pissing off everyone

I truly hope you are right, but I am extremely concerned that this will be a power grab, having the generals swear an oath of loyalty to the Trump regime directly, rather than than the normal oath they may have sworn.

Doing this would make it extremely easy to take over and purge the leadership of disloyalty to the regime.

The situation is very precarious at the moment.

The correct reaction would be for the generals to fulfill their real oath to the Constitution and immediately depose Hegseth and the rest of the Trump regime as the domestic enemies they are.
It’s basically the only scenario I can see on the table where normality even has a chance to return in our lifetime. The military would have to clean house on both sides of the aisle though, force primaries for everything, and basically flush the toilet on the last 150 years of party politics.
Bring back G. Washington.
You can never go back in time. Better to think of what ideals would be typified by a new revolutionary spirit.
