"The meeting is expected to resemble “a pep rally” where Hegseth will underscore the importance of the “warrior ethos” and outline a new vision for the US military, said three of the sources. He is expected to discuss new readiness, fitness and grooming standards the officers are expected to adhere to and enforce.

“It’s about getting the horses into the stable and whipping them into shape,” said a defense official familiar with the planning. “And the guys with the stars on their shoulders make for a better audience from an optics standpoint. This is a showcase for Hegseth to tell them: get on board, or potentially have your career shortened.”

Clown show.

Ferdinand Trump is planning to send troops to peaceful Portand in order to deal with so-called "domestic terrorists". I've visited Portland several times and it is hardly a bastion of crime or terrorism; it's just a nice place to live.

Maybe he's hoping the Proud Boys stir up some activist behavior?

Is funny how the Gadsden flag crowd doesn't care about this.
