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

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.

The traffic around Quantico is legendary on an ordinary day. Glad I wasn’t traveling that day.

The top brass decides on procurement and offensives.

The people lower on down do their duty.

I believe the high-level orders go out from the Pentagon.

If they go out from Quantico, then maybe it involves Gaza.

Trump has promised action if the thugs don’t agree to Trump’s deal.

Folks, I thank you for coming and I hope you’ve learned a lot about warfare 2025 style.

“The traffic around Quantico is legendary on an ordinary day. Glad I wasn’t traveling that day.”

I expect a lot of them will fly into MCBQ.

I was wondering about accommodations for 600+ generals and admirals. Do they stay at hotels in Washington and then drive to Quantico? Do they stay on base? I don’t think they can hail choppers like ubers. Does anyone here know how this is handled? Just curious.

Like my dad used to say when he saw his employees huddled in a group:

"One hand grenade'd wipe you all out."

Prove me wrong.

Are you afraid that our enemies are going to mount a massive strike on Quantico?

Marine Corps Base Quantico is there. The presidential helicopter squadron is there. The FBI Academy and the FBI Laboratory are there. The the Officer Candidates School, The Basic School, the United States Drug Enforcement Administration training academy, the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, the United States Army Criminal Investigation Division, and the Air Force Office of Special Investigations headquarters are all there.

But now it's unsafe to have the generals meet there?

DC is too far and too congested to commute readily, unless they chartered a bus. Even then, you're looking at an hour or more in traffic. to go the 30 miles. Even Joint Base Andrews is also 30 miles away.

There are a lot of towns nearby to Quantico, however, with chain hotels and motels. The east coasts main north-south artery, I-95, runs along the west side of the Quantico base, and the former N-S artery, Route 1, runs along the east side. Lots of lodgings. Certainly the base has big events like graduation parades, etc, when all the families come.

“If that means no women qualify for some combat jobs, so be it,” Hegseth told the assembled generals. “That is not the intent, but it could be the result.”
Anyone who has seen the videos of two or even three lady cops trying to subdue one 140 pound guy know exactly what he’s talking about.
No more woke military. If you are bleeding out, you want someone who can grab your drag strap and pull you out of the fire lane, not a woman lacking upper body strength.

“... 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. Prove me wrong.”

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth himself proved you wrong.

You owe him an apology for your arrogant slander.

I owe him no apology, Hegseth's egotistical rant was all about him and had nothing to do with the assembled Brass in front of him.

General Flynn would have been a much better, more qualified nominee for SecofDef.

But can't we agree to disagree on some areas of mutual interest, FRiend?

Don't zot me, Bro. 😁
