Master Strategist Pete Hegseth to Gather All US Military Leaders in Same Place at Same Time (Humor)
Duffle Blog ^ | Sept. 29, 2025 | Duffle Blog

Posted on 09/29/2025 7:02:38 PM PDT by PROCON

THE PENTAGON — Shockwaves have rippled across Washington in recent days following surprise orders from Secretary of Defense (and also War and also Pew Pew) Pete Hegseth that the entirety of U.S. military leadership would muster aboard Marine Corps Base Quantico on Tuesday.

“This gathering is of the highest secrecy and importance to our national security,” said Hegseth, “which is why I have ordered every general- or flag-grade officer assemble at a highly secure location on Tuesday, September 30, at 12:00 pm Eastern Standard Time, 10 digit grid 0033566203 on your Quantico 1:50,0000 special if you’ve got one. All hands, no excuses. And remember: stay clean on OPSEC.”

The unprecedented move immediately raised questions about both the purpose of the meeting and the wisdom of advertising it.

“I have absolutely no concerns about pulling every combatant commander, service chief, and force provider away from their day jobs for this super-secret sync,” Hegseth said dismissively. “Sure, I gave our adversaries a week’s warning, complete with the grid coordinates, but did I tell them the color of the building? Well? Did I?”

*Break*

The secretary was nevertheless unperturbed at the possible security risk incurred by freely dumping into the public domain information that would normally take enemies significant time and effort to uncover on their own.

I'm an old Army Vietnam vet, a big fan of our Military and a former fan of Hegseths but with this asinine move of his, ordering all General and Fleet Officers to gather in one place at one time is just plain dumb & dangerous.

He's proven to me he's incompetent and not qualified for this highly important office.

I hope President Trump dumps this guy before he embarrasses the Military even more./rantoff

Prove me wrong.

The Duffle Blog has been slowly drifting toward the left. Too bad. It was once a great satire source.

Why it’s almost as dumb as putting the President, the Vice-President, the entire Senate, the entire House of Representatives, and the entire Supreme Court all in one building in order to hear a State of The Union speech that could easily just be dropped on YouTube.

I wondered what sense the order made when I first heard it.

If it’s a test is to prove the capabilities of those left in command if every chief were suddenly removed (while the meeting was held), that would be one way to do it.

Generals are woke and they are only loyal to the Democratic Party, not to the Constitution and the United States.

Hegseth (and Trump) is right to call them out.

It is a dangerous move. Not doubt about that. The only possible justification for such a meeting is that Hegseth’s message must be of extreme importance. Something so important that only a face-to-face meeting will do.

I can think of one such message. Zero tolerance towards woke policies going forward. Back to the traditional warrior spirit. No more transsexuals dancing on flight decks. No more DEI promotions.

And if any flag officer disagrees, get up and get out. Now.

(We shall see.)

What? Is Joey Zasa (Godfather III reference) going to get them?

*********************

You’ll be proven wrong when the meeting takes place and nothing happens. (Are we at war with anybody?) If something did happen, a lot of junior officers would get a promotion.

I’m not military, just a civilian and this meeting isn’t problematic from my perspective.

Also, half the overpaid “woke fat” in the room should probably be canned sometime this year.

Uh-huh. Sure; Right...

You’re a liar. You were never behind Hegseth, ever. I AM behind our Sec of War Hegseth, 100%. He has NOT embarrassed our Military; quite the contrary. His bona fides and leadership to date are a matter of public record.

Your bona fides to call him out with such arrogance?? NONEXISTENT.

I’ll wait patiently for Sec. Hegseth to prove YOU wrong!

Well, it's not like they can do a Stalin on the senior officers. Someone may just be thinking outside the box.

Almost all those guys have spent all but a little under 5 years of their careers getting promotions under Clinton - Bush - Obama - Biden. We aren't talking cream of the crop here.
