“duffleblog” reads like the Rolling Stone.
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.
It might involve learning from Ukraine. Ukrainian experts might be giving presentations....
Folks, I thank you for coming and I hope you’ve learned a lot about warfare 2025 style.
We will find out in the morning. Looking forward to it
I hope he fires every specific dei supporter, clot chot supporter than drummed every last ethical soldier out of the service....all at once and by name.
It’s no secret anymore
“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.
"One hand grenade'd wipe you all out."
Awww, I hope he didn’t hurt your feelers today and demand excellence.
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.
I agree. He’s an amateur.
“... 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.
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.
Don't zot me, Bro. 😁
Fair enough. Peace, FRiend.
