Pete Hegseth, the former weekend talk show host and now in charge of the US Defense Department has called hundreds of top military brass, 3 and 4 star generals in for a big meeting, nobody knows about what. Beyond this being incredibly stupid from a safety standpoint (imaging a foreign power that wanted to decapitate the US military), the idea of them having to sit there and listen to his drivel is mind boggling, never mind the cost.
My theories of what the meeting is for include:
1) Loyalty oath
2) Requirement to play Fox News and only Fox News on military bases
3) Oath of loyalty
4) Talk over good old times when the US tried to win wars
5) Saying the words “I will do whatever the Orange Monster tells me to, whether it’s Constitutional or not.”
6) Or possibly, a loyalty oath.

Then the generals and admirals tie up and gag Kegseth, take him to an offshore aircraft carrier, put him in a helicopter, turn off the transponder so the copter can not be followed in any way, lock 200+ lbs of scrap anchor chain around Kegseth, and then drop him into the ocean. Then they fly a random path away for 15 minutes, turn on the transponder, and return to the carrier.
Inspection over and all personnel accounted for.

My theories of what the meeting is for include:Anyone, of any gender/race/religion can recite a loyalty oath. I see a pattern to the separations that have already been made.
You forgot the obvious: the final "night of the long knives", after months of sporadic activity, purge of officers who do not fit the Christian Nationalist/white supremacist mold.

Maybe it's a plan to have an aggressive military draft, where families with higher than average 401K balances send their kids first. And then, selective colleges send their students en masse.
It then ends with I.T workers being sent to fight, and then a reversal of the H1B fee along with an increase of 500,000 such visas per year.
Here's to that plan right?
