So, Is HegsDEATH Summoning All the Top Brass [View all]

to kiss Trump's ring (by swearing allegiance and obedience) or his ass?

'Confusion and alarm' at Pentagon as Hegseth summons top brass to impromptu meeting - Rawstory via MSN

An unusual directive demanding all U.S. generals and admirals report to Washington, D.C. for a meeting is raising alarm, according to a report.

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.
