SECWAR calling in the Stars for a "talk"

LINKY THING

Snippet:
Quote:
Other than the broad announcement to around 600 to 800 U.S. Generals and flag officers from around the world, no one is exactly sure why Secretary Pete Hegseth has requested they come to the U.S for a meeting.

According to reports from CNN and various news outlets, Secretary of the War Department, Pete Hegseth has sent a notice for all of them to travel back to the U.S. for a meeting in Virginia at the War Department’s Quantico facility.
I have heard, given his eloquence in past threads, that our very own Box will be preparing the slide deck for Secretary Hegseth. Perhaps it would be instructive to get an idea of what such 'bullet points' might look like. [Reports that attendees will be required to wear shock collars cannot be substantiated.]

Clearly, the Secretary of War has summoned all the flag officers because he’s finally cracked the code on the most pressing military issue of our time:

Who keeps leaving the coffee pot on ??


Or maybe he’s just tired of reading memos and wants to see if everyone can still fit into their dress uniforms. Let’s be honest, though...
...this is probably just a clever ploy to remind everyone who’s really in charge.

Nothing says 'power move' like making a room full of admirals and generals sit through a PowerPoint presentation titled 'Why We Can’t Have Nice Things."


Or, it could be something a little more serious.
Who can tell these days.

I heard it's to ensure they all get caught up on their yearly on-line training courses

Quantico has ranges, PT fields and a land-nav course, right? I can see some fun possibilities.

Quantico?

Maybe he will require them all to do 1 pull-up.
