Although he called and made the speech for general, the fact this was broadcast tells me this speech was not for the generals…

The drunk TV guy with a make-up room tells generals he wants manly men. Did I get that right?
Look at all those beards. Disgusting!
This was distraction. The main reason for the meeting was to galvanize the troops for world war 3.
Those generals agree with 80% of what was said and will 100% follow whatever orders come down. Just because they grimace at stupid meetings doesn’t mean they are the peoples’ friends.
They're all 4-star general West Point graduates. They do not agree with 80% of the speech, and whether they'll follow orders is not a given. There is a balance of power at play.
No one is "the people's friend" and that's not the point. Some of these guys believe in nothing but power, but a significant number are also constitutional ideologues. And both of those groups among the generals know their power is both at risk and so is the constitution. And this meeting has been largely been disliked according to reporters among all of them.
Pete Hegseth is completely retarded.
Meanwhile Pete Hegseth: 'We have too much diversity!!!!!' and bans beards
I bet they all walked away with something better! Their new Russian friends who will always be there! Listening in...
I'm convinced what we saw was just a distraction for the public.
They definitely did the more nefarious shit off camera.
"in USA they can only choose between two haircuts"
DPRK has 7.
The best part is that both him and trump prepared a "funny" speech with pauses for cheers and applauses but were too stupid to realize the difference between a military meeting (listening in silence at blank face) and a political rally (cheering at whatever you say, even if it doesn't make sense)
they wanted a north korean, russian style rally.
I am glad to see several skin tones. There are not enough women in this picture.
I would like my Military-Industrial Complex that bombs schools and hospitals to come in pink, please.
enough women
can't seem to find any though
Not that it matters, but the colours in there are just black and white, no asians or latinos
can't seem to find any though
I think there are some female generals in the upper right corner, but the resolution is too low to be sure
There is one person with long blonde hair right off the center and one with longer black hair in the same position on the left side. Alltogether there could be eight female generals.
hesgeth, trump got rid of them.
A quick reminder
he declared war on American citizens yesterday
He encouraged war crimes against American citizens
He told them to prepare for war
Trump told them they are loyal to him now or they’re fired
Thank you, everybody is focusing on Pete and his stupidity and not the important part, I feel??
I am not advocating for it but in other nations, that would cause a military coup.
I've been wondering why that didn't happen right then and there. A boy can only dream, I guess.
Remember that conspiracy theory about JFK being taken out because he crossed the military complex?
Well now we can see how this experiment goes, piss off every capable military leader, and see how long this attempted dictatorship lasts.
crossed the military industrial complex
.... quite a few friends were made right there. I personally would not gather them all in a room to tell them how fat they are. A veteran like that could do me in with a toothbrush.
"You might think I'm fat, but I can still kick your ass" - the generals to Hegseth
hesgeth is also overcompensating that during bidens presidency, when he was still enlisted? that he couldnt get close enough to BIDEN entourage to harm him. also trump had him to distract this from the files, anything to take up news space.
Let's have every single general, admiral, and other very high ranking military personnel in the same room with the secretary of war and the president. Oh, and let's announce it publicly ahead of time. What could go wrong?
JFC Pete is so fucking stupid. A smart, motivated, and malicious individual could have wiped out all of our military leadership in an instant.

This was a "look how powerful I am that I can demand you all show up to here me rant" meeting on Pete's part. So yes, a waste of time, and money.
Something like 150 people sitting in this picture and 6 black men and 3 women. But there's too much diversity in the military!!!!!!!!!
