The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The unexpected confab has created confusion and alarm, as there has not been a defense secretary in recent history who has ordered such a large number of the military’s top officers to gather like this.

Two possibilities:

The regime started relieving high ranking officers that were female, POCs, or supported "woke ideology" very soon after the inaguration. Maybe they are going all in now, and purging all flag rank officers who don't fit their Christian nationalist ideal?

Or, getting ready for the invasion of Venezuela.

I bet it's option 1, because they don't need every flag rank officer in the country, to knock over another banana republic.
