Your friend is a moron, the fact he thinks being in uniform "40+ years" is some kind of special distinction shows he doesn't have a clue either. Hegseth is the SECDEF, he can address that brass as he sees fit.

No. We deserve a room full of command generals & admirals who could kill our enemies themselves.

He must have been looking to drag his sack across them. I mean I agree it could have been handled with an email.


Yes, he's a bit of a dick and he likes a spectacle, but this called for one IMO. Yeah, technically every instruction can be handled by an email but every single one of those leaders has called a mass formation for a mass arse chewing because sometimes you do that to make a point. They KNOW the height & weight standards and they're still not peer enforced at that level, so this was a good move IMO.

As soon as it’s a closed door meeting people would bitch about a “secret” meeting and leaks would happen to paint it in as bad of light as possible.

I (as a vet) love how it was handled. I spoke with my active duty spec ops son and he loved it. He said the only people bitching about it on the compound were the fat slobs.


I really like the every duty day PT requirement.

Hegseth did not call anyone out by name (or command, posting) so no, behind closed door was not required.

That was awesome and must be demanded of all soldiers. I would love to see the pay increased for those war fighters under the rank of corporal.

Parents need to model good health to their children, regardless of age, as well. Don't be a fat arse.

You don’t have a military to compare to.

Seems like telling a chess grandmaster to do more pull-ups.



A chess grandmaster is not a leader of men.

BS. If you have manages a staff of any size. You call everyone in and give them the same message.

My father would assemble his entire Squadron and lay down the law. Then the one on one’s that prompted the action.

I handled my staffs in the same manner.

You both ignore the fact that this military had been subjected to the worst performing leadership in decades, because the intent was to add men dressed as women to the ranks.

Why? These folks are the ones that fricked up his organization and he wants them to know they will be held to account... They have been drawing checks for many years and letting standards lapse...

Not really... these folks need to be slapped in the face, exactly like he did and he gave them an out if they do not want to get into line... Tells me you are not a very effective leader if you think what he had to say translates the same in an email...

exactly. After Obama did his military purge (+120 command officers) this is what is left.

Funny considering Hegseth can’t do a pull-up and there are videos online of women military calling him out while they do actual pullups with babies strapped to them.


Also funny Hegseth talks like a teenager online.

FAFO. ?

What adult uses that in real life?


And did know one notice he was talking to the camera and not the generals.

Spent how many tax payer dollars. Plus security risk(although small). Of all those generals traveling and meeting in one location just to talk to the camera

Dudes a joke.

Not surprised non clapped, They clap for Trump.
