Dear Leadership of the ,

You heard those two madmen drivel nonsense about pointing you and the armed forces of the USA against cities and citizens of the USA.

The time will come when you have to disobey illegal orders. A time may come sooner when you have to stand up against and their illegal attacks on US citizens. We ask that you remember your oath and stay prepared.

I understand #Trump hasn't been seen in public since he gave that rambling, unhinged, hour-plus-long #speech to the #military #generals and #admirals who sat there in stony #silence. I'm sure he was hoping for the screaming adulation he gets from the dolts at his rallies. But this was a different caliber of audience entirely. Cadet Bonespurs might have craved their approval, but their silence sent a message which was clearly received as intended: "You are an insane old buffoon who is wasting our time."

I love the smell of narcissistic injury in the morning.

If you kick out all the , of any shade, and Leadership that disagree with you from the , they don't disappear.

What you've done is create a free that is ready with the skills, knowledge, and strength to stand against you.

The Trump And Hegseth Show: Toxic Masculinity

And use US Cities as military training grounds

By Liza Donnelly, Sep 30, 2025

Today, Pete Hegseth and Trump gathered 800+ Generals, spending millions to bring them to Virgina just so he and Hegseth could have a photo op. It was a joke, Hegseth looked riduculous. A former FOX talk show host talking to 800 men and women who have risked their lives for our democracy. I don’t really want to spend too much time on it, but it really annoys me. Their effort to ram a toxic brand of machismo down our throats is offensive.

Hegseth: “No more climate change worship, no more division, distraction or gender delusions,”

There are no words to describe this Not My President. –DrWeb

He wants to get rid of facial hair in the military.

He wants everyone in the military to be really “fit.”

He defended his firing of more than a dozen military leaders, many of them people of color and women: the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., who is Black; the first woman to command the Navy, Adm. Lisa Franchetti; and the U.S. military’s representative to the NATO military committee, Vice Adm. Shoshana Chatfield.

Walking around stage, he said he wanted to change the military’s “stupid rules of engagement” that he claims limit war fighters in the field. Hegseth had fired the top lawyers for the Army, Navy and Air Force in an effort to “remake the military into a force that is more aggressive on the battlefield and less hindered by the laws of armed conflict.”

He wants his “Department of War” (what Trump wants the Defense Dept to be renamed, but Congress has not approved it) to be able to play dirty, I guess.

Trump followed Hegseth, and try as hard as he could, he could not get the military leaders to laugh or even applaud. It is customary for miltary personal to remain non-partisan in situations like this, much to Trump’s chagrin. NY Times reporter Maggie Haberman wrote, It was striking how many times President Trump tried to get the assembled military leaders to break character, or laugh when he mocked his predecessors or used his typical political lines. It was also striking how often they resisted before Trump finally threw in the towel.”

In his rambling delivery, repeating so many of his grievances to the assembled group of high ranking professionals, he brought up tariffs, Joe Biden and the autopen, the southern border, CNN, his feelings about Putin and his desire for a Nobel Peace Prize he feels he deserves. “I think we should maybe start thinking about battleships by the way,” he said at one point, pausing to bring up a 1950s documentary series about naval warfare. “I used to watch ‘Victory at Sea.’ I love ‘Victory at Sea.’”

Trump said he told Hegseth that “we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military,” referring to urban areas in the US.

This man is crazy and dangerous.

The goverment is close to a shutdown, which will furlough many and stop services. Speaker Johnson has set it up so that this will happen: he canceled votes earlier this month after Republicans in his chamber pushed through a stopgap spending measure to fund the government through Nov. 21. That was a bid to “pressure Democrats into accepting the Republicans’ proposal, but they refused, blocking the measure in that chamber, where the bill is currently stalled, awaiting the 60 votes it would need to move.”

…The addition of the president at Quantico will now put the #SecretService in charge of securing the event. Hundreds of the military’s top commanding #generals & #admirals, ranked one-star & above, along with their senior enlisted leaders were ordered to attend by #Hegseth last week. The orders provided no reason for the event & initially raised concern among attendees & #military officials that he was gathering the group to inform them of mass firings or demotions.

HEGSETH CALLS MEETING OF 800 MILITARY TOP LEADERS AND STAFF AT GREAT COST WEAKEN NATIONAL SECURITY

HEGSETH CALLS MEETING OF 800 MILITARY TOP LEADERS AND STAFF
AT GREAT COST WEAKEN NATIONAL SECURITY

Tara Copp, Dan Lamothe, Alex Horton, Ellen Nakashima, and Noah
Robertson of the Washington Post reported today that Defense
Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered about 800 of the military's top
generals and admirals, along with their senior enlisted advisors, to
come to the Marine Corps base in Quantico, Virginia, next week. Such
a demand is highly unusual, and no one knows why Hegseth has made
it.

In The Bulwark, Mark Hertling, who was commander of U.S. Army
Europe from 2011 to 2012, noted that the demand “is baffling and the
cost will be staggering.” Instead of using the Pentagon's secure video
teleconferencing system, the personnel will require flights and
accommodations that will cost millions, while the lost focus and
readiness will affect their mission.

Hertling points out that “[a]dversaries and allies are watching. This
sudden, global, emergency recall of America's top brass is da flashing
red light to them: Something must be wrong inside the Pentagon.”
