'Confusion and alarm' at Pentagon as Hegseth summons top brass to impromptu meeting - Rawstory via MSN
The order, which comes from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, "applies to all senior officers with the rank of brigadier general or above, or their Navy equivalent, serving in command positions and their top enlisted advisers."
According to The Washington Post, the demand is "sowing confusion and alarm," particularly given the administration's indiscriminate firing of several top military leaders in its first 100 days in office.

(7,335 posts)is NOT a sound idea.
There are officers below Flag Level who could have very fascist leanings and as nuts as the idiots in the Trump Mob. Clearing out the flag officers who 'hold the zealots back' could well spell disaster for democracy.
Sane security procedures would NEVER allow all those flag officers to be in one place at one time, too big a target! This has the smell of a coup.

Brass may want to bring their sidearms.
