Hamas terrorist attack in the U.S. like the October 7th attack in Israel? Reduction in Force (RIF)? Deliberately weakening Commands and units around the world? Mandatory mRNA shots? Or just a massive, expensive boondoggle?
FWIW, the second article dismisses the idea of getting rid of Flag Officers at the meeting because they're bringing their senior enlisted. However, if the Flag Officer goes, perhaps his or her senior enlisted also goes. Fortunately, everyone there should be eligible for retirement based on longevity, so if a RIF happens and those "reduced" are not allowed to bump into other slots, they should all be able to retire.
Perhaps someone has an advance warning of when the Rapture will happen, and thinks it would be best to know who goes and who got left behind?
Or a census of how many military execs are Christians so TPTB know where the vacancies will be? satan isn't stupid, and he has to know time's short, so may be getting his minions ready.
Hegseth Summons Generals and Admirals for Rare Meeting in Virginia
By Eleanor Watson Caroline Hinton
Updated on: September 26, 2025 / 1:08 PM EDT / CBS News
"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has directed numerous generals and admirals, as well as some of their staff, from around the world to come to Quantico, Virginia, next week, U.S. officials confirmed to CBS News on Thursday.
"The Secretary of War will be addressing his senior military leaders early next week," said chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell. President Trump earlier this year signed an executive order renaming the Defense Department as the Department of War and Hegseth as Secretary of War, but the name can only officially be changed by Congress.
The Pentagon has provided no other details about the meeting to either the military leaders or the press.
The news of the meeting was first reported in The Washington Post.
There are regularly scheduled meetings with senior military leaders, but a meeting of this size — in person and on such short notice — is rare, if not unprecedented."

A Quick Analysis of Secretary Hegseth’s General Officers Meeting
"On September 25, the
Washington Post reported that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has called an
in-person meeting of up to 800 flag and general officers (FOs/GOs, or officers of one to four stars). This will take place “early next week” at the Marine base in Quantico, Virginia. The Department of Defense has confirmed such a meeting.
There is tremendous uncertainty about why this meeting was called. There are frequent meetings of general officers for specific purposes. For example, the 11 four-star combatant commanders come to Washington every year to meet with the secretary, the chairman, and the president. Each service has a meeting of its flag and general officers and often its senior civilians as well. However, the reported scale of this meeting is unprecedented."
"There were inconsistencies in the
Washington Post article, so the meeting may not be as large as reported. The article states that 800 general and flag officers would be coming, but that is nearly all the 838 such officers (as of June 2025). However, officers on staffs will be exempt. There are many such officers, which would bring the number substantially below 800. Wherever the number settles out, the meeting would still be unprecedented.
Security at Quantico will be a nightmare. Such a gathering of military leadership would be a target for terrorists and protesters. The base is large, with thousands of inhabitants and workers. The base may give up on trying to conduct its normal training and education activities and just close for a day or two."

Secretary Hegseth has called an unprecedented meeting of nearly all DOD's generals and admirals. The purpose is unclear but likely to inform them about strategy and organizational changes combined with admonitions for them to get on board or leave. A purge is unlikely.
