it would be really funny if the generals arrive at the meeting and there's a margarita tower set up for each one

long ago are the days when a guy like this could fire 40% of the top generals for being "woke" and they could immediately leave, gather their loyal officers up, "raid" their armories and march on D.C.
instead they'll just pout, go home, call their lawyers and worry about their pensions. a few months from now we'll have humvees at every intersection, checkpoints outside every city

I'll laugh at MSM's coverage. MSNBC's Pentagon reporter might say something like "Until the Supreme Court rules this is Constitut—. Excuse me! Until the Supreme Court rules on the constitutionality - they must obey their commander-in-chief. But basically speaking - the mood is dour and the top brass along with the rank-and-file are troubled by this vast expanse in the power of the executive branch..."
MSNBC's audience really hates this shit but what can MSNBC do? If they don't phrase things right - they could lose the most important thing. Access.
they'll be chasing that access right up until the hood, blindfold, and zip ties are forced on them
Surprise Pizza Party!!!
Probably just really serious about returning to the office.
All the Generals quiet quitting smdh
The escalator did nothing wrong!!!!!

googled hegseth and apparently he has a Bowel Action from Princeton and a Master's of Peepee and Poopoo from Harvard. You should all be ashamed of yourself for being mean to this eminently qualified super clever boy!
Remember on September 10th 2001 when Rumsfeld held a mandatory meeting of the Pentagon & DOD to announce a 'radical new reorganization' of state defense, meaning more contracting, less transparency, a change in the roles it played, more internal surveillance.
This feels like that, just done even more incompetent and egotistically.
Whether they just use the recent years of lead stuff or seal the deal shortly after with something new, I'd put money on massive further mercenarification of the military (Palantir for surveillance, digital repression, mercs on the streets), deployment into new more repressive roles within the US, and either an explicit or implicit loyalty demand. Shortly followed by some of the most repressive executive orders and legislation to date.
Xi please defeat the US military and liberate mainland usa from fascism.

Did they get a memo from all the military poindexters they have monitoring climate change saying that the chance of entering the global cool zone in the next five years has gone up to 95%?
Someone could do something very funny these days in Virginia.
Concerning. Looking into this...
Hegseth heard “foreign intervention” and called a meeting of generals to make sure it doesn’t happen

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
