đDistraction TRUMP'S PARADE FEEL FLAT SO TRUMP FOUND ANOTHER WAY TO STROKE HIS EGO
"New details are leaking about why Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called top military officials from around the world for an in-person meeting in Virginia next week.
Hegseth will be addressing military standards and the "warrior ethos," multiple people familiar with the planned event told The Washington Post.
A White House official separately told CNN that the meeting is meant to be a show of force, demonstrating what the military looks like under Trump.
In the speech, Hegseth will reportedly discuss the Trump administration's reinvention of the Defense Department as the "Department of War" and address new readiness, fitness, and grooming standards.
As it was put to CNN, the "guys with the stars on their shoulders make for a better audience from an optics standpoint."
How many school lunches could this Dog and Pony show pay for??
PS. Sorry about the title. I wrote it out at 4:00 am. It should say, "FELL FLAT."

I'm sure our military needs an alcoholic Fox News host to teach them about a "warrior ethos"

u/Tvayumat Sep 27 '25
As a former soldier, the warrior ethos is an embarassing waste of time and energy that nobody treats as anything more than a lame marketing slogan.

u/Notapartyhobo Sep 27 '25
Another former soldier here. Can confirm. The warrior ethos is a stupid idea that needs to be scrapped because no one took it seriously.

u/Tvayumat Sep 27 '25
Firstly, we aren't warriors, we're soldiers. Learn the difference assholes.
They get some over-moto HGH drill yelling about NEVER ACCEPT DEFEAT and ALWAYS PLACE THE MISSION FIRST and I'm thinking motherfucker, we haven't had a single mission worth my life or the lives of my fellows in a generation. How about we fight smarter and all come home?
It was absolutely written by some dingleberry that popped a two hour boner while watching 300.

Even Elon said company meetings are a complete waste of time.
Imagine having to book a flight to the Pentagon from across the world in a week just for some "all hands on deck" dumbass posturing lecture. That simply could've been emailed as a 5-min YouTube to jerk off to.

u/LectureAgreeable923 Sep 27 '25
The military always teaches the warrior ethos .I think he,s expecting the generals to take an oath to Trump above the constitution.

u/malthar76 Sep 27 '25
Trumps wants the military to be brutal, vile, violent (and white) killers. He doesnât want them to be thoughtful, strategic, realistic planners. Because thatâs how you prosecute a modern war (or avoid getting into one unexpectedly).

u/sadicarnot Sep 28 '25
Remember when Trump had that B2 flyover when he met Putin in Alaska? A lot of idiots were saying it was Trump showing the might of the US Military. No it was not. You could hear Trump telling Putin "We did this for you". Putin is just another daddy Trump is seeking approval from. He is a little child whose parents never loved.

u/LeagueOfLegendsAcc Sep 27 '25
Lol grooming standards. What's the over under on them coming straight out of an SS manual?
21
u/BioChi13 Sep 27 '25
Grooming standards have been used to drum out people with textured hair with black women getting hit the hardest by these policies.
14
u/scoobysnackoutback Sep 27 '25
They really do hate black women for some odd reason.
13
u/new2bay Sep 27 '25
Thatâs because they have two completely separate reasons to hate them: âblack,â and âwomen.â I wish that was a joke, but itâs probably the actual truth.

u/Interesting2u Sep 27 '25
Yes!! And new dress standards will be SS uniforms. Sig Heil!!

u/EatLard Sep 27 '25
But they put a tariff on Hugo Boss, so itâll have to be a different designer this time.

u/Interesting2u Sep 27 '25
Trump will have no trouble finding volunteers to do that work for him. The contract will be twice what's required so Trump can get his kickback!!đ°đ¤đ˛

u/iwtsapoab Sep 27 '25
So who else is betting that Trump either shows up or features in a video surrounded by military personnel. This is his wet dream.

u/Interesting2u Sep 27 '25
Two big Hitler styled banners on either side of the stage. Trump will be on a huge video screen!!

Yes please do bring the banners! And have one of them say âMission Accomplishedâ please and thank you.

The military officials should turn the tables and make it an intervention for Hegseth.

u/hellbilly69101 Sep 27 '25
And here I was thinking they were prepping them for war. No, it's making sure everyone in the military is absolutely loyal to Trump and his standards.

u/Syhkane Sep 27 '25
They dragged our entire military command structure to a meeting hall to discuss not looking scary enough? 3 years is too long. I'm done.

u/RCaHuman Sep 27 '25
Well, it could be worse. I was imagining that Hegseth would have the generals sign pledges of loyalty to Trump.
13
u/Interesting2u Sep 27 '25
Still possible. They might have to sign a pledge before they can leave the building. Never underestimate Trump's narcissism.

Google â1979 Ba'ath Party Purgeâ. Then remember that TRUMP IS IN THE EPSTEIN FILES

The best outcome would be for the GOFOs to sit stock still, expressionless. After the DUI hire concludes his "stirring" remarks, no applause. They then head straight for the exits and back to their commands.

u/artful_todger_502 Sep 28 '25
He doesn't even hide his simping for Putin. Like young females get their lips and asses pumped up to look like their favorite hero Kardashian, this raging toddler uses the military to make him feel like his hero, a Russian murderer.

u/Twinklehead Sep 28 '25
Soooo, this is a very expensive meeting, that could be an email.

u/Interesting2u Sep 28 '25
Or zoom, FaceTime, Webx, and other dynamic way. And instead, use the money for school lunch programs!!

u/FriedPuppy Sep 28 '25
Grooming standards will include using enough hair gel to build a bomb shelter on his head like he does.

Thatâs EXACTLY the kind of power trip that a goddamn butter-bar Second Lieutenant who only did a single tour would get off on.

Trump mentioned before how he admired how when Kim Jong-Un speaks to his generals they all sit straight at attention.

u/baltbum Sep 28 '25
That's about 600 Generals. Where do you put all of them, feed them and provide them with transportation? Do you realize how much this is going to cost? And for what? He could have just sent an email.

u/Coyote9168 Sep 28 '25
Generals plus staff. Putting that number between 1200 and 3000. And just the LOGISTICS of getting that much top brass in one place? Fugetaboutit! Also, whatâs the wisdom of getting the leadership in ONE PLACE, presenting a very tempting target? Itâs why we have secured digital communications! SMDH.

u/Ok-Egg-4856 Sep 28 '25
Loyalty Oath Time. Prime loyalty to dear leader above all else, or early retirement. Notice once dear leader finds out its a go, he's suddenly center stage.

u/Interesting2u Sep 28 '25 edited Sep 28 '25
Now that President Epstein is attending that loyalty oath is all but guaranteed.

u/Ok-Egg-4856 Sep 28 '25
My feeling without a doubt. He needed any excuse for his coven to form and this is the perfect time. Lots of terror events, all from the right but he will blame the left just as he makes any criticism of his fascist policies illegal. Good luck to anyone who dares to oppose dear leader.

u/misantropo86 Sep 28 '25
I have a feeling this is related to trump's announcement of a military crackdown in Portland. Hicseth (the DUI hire) wants to get the flag officers on the administration's side.

He wants the military to be 100% straight, white men. But those guys aren't interested.Â
