The news earlier this week that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wanted nearly all the 800 or so American generals and admirals and their senior enlisted advisers to assemble in person next week in Quantico raised eyebrows. When the order came down, it wasn’t clear exactly what Hegseth wanted from the meeting or what its purpose was, which of course led to some ridiculous speculations. (Would there be a new loyalty oath to the president? Would Hegseth announce an invasion of Venezuela? Etc.)
Today, the Washington Post was first to report that “Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered hundreds of generals to travel on short notice from around the world to hear him make a short speech on military standards and the ‘warrior ethos.’”
