Emergency Meeting of US Military Leaders
U.S. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has called an urgent, unusual meeting of hundreds of military generals and admirals.
Why This Matters
Given ongoing security concerns and potential global conflicts, this meeting's implications for U.S. military readiness and foreign policy are of public interest.
Public Sentiment Summary
Public sentiment about the emergency meeting of U.S. military leaders is overwhelmingly negative and characterized by deep skepticism, fear of authoritarianism, and concerns over military loyalty. Commenters express apprehension about political motives behind the meeting, the risks of gathering so many high-ranking officials in one place, and the potential for military purges or loyalty tests, especially under the current administration. The prevailing view indicates a strong distrust in leadership and a fear of escalating militarization and threats to democratic principles.

America spent 20 years in Afghanistan to replace the Taliban with a new improved Taliban
If this is a loyalty oath meeting and they cave the republic is over.
This sounds like some Saddam Hussein stuff.
Bringing all military leadership together into one room has got to be one of the stupidest, naive moves in modern history.
This reeks of authoritarianism. Praying Hegseth hits the bottle hard prior to the meeting and does not make it.
