One of my biggest pet peeves is seeing even Texans who aren’t rodeo cowboys wear these big silver buckles and its even worse when you’re a drunk Fox News preppy.

 

 

Honesty no one should wear those belt buckles. Like you mention, there are too many wanna-bes or fake cowboys who wear them. If the world's top rodeo cowboy was wearing that belt buckle in my presence, I would assume he's a wanna-be cowboy.

Coach Hegseth: “We are really focused on building a roster to take on Bethune-Cookman and New Mexico State.  We don’t see a need to worry about Georgia or Ohio State right now.”

Hegseth orders rare, urgent meeting of hundreds of generals, admirals

The Pentagon has summoned military officials from around the world for a gathering in Virginia. Even top generals and their staffs don’t know the reason for the meeting.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered hundreds of the U.S. military’s generals and admirals to gather on short notice — and without a stated reason — at a Marine Corps base in Virginia next week, sowing confusion and alarm after the Trump administration’s firing of numerous senior leaders this year.

The highly unusual directive was sent to virtually all of the military’s top commanders worldwide, according to more than a dozen people familiar with the matter. The directive was issued earlier this week, as a government shutdown looms, and months after Hegseth’s team at the Pentagon announced plans to undertake a sweeping consolidation of top military commands.

In a statement Thursday, Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell affirmed that Hegseth “will be addressing his senior military leaders early next week,” but he offered no additional details. Parnell, a senior adviser to the defense secretary, voiced no concerns about The Washington Post reporting on the meeting, scheduled for Tuesday in Quantico, Virginia.

There are about 800 generals and admirals spread across the United States and dozens of other countries and time zones. Hegseth’s order, people familiar with the matter said, applies to all senior officers with the rank of brigadier general or above, or their Navy equivalent, serving in command positions and their top enlisted advisers. Typically, these officers each oversee hundreds or thousands of rank-and-file troops.

Top commanders in conflict zones and senior military leaders stationed throughout Europe, the Middle East and the Asia-Pacific region are among those expected to attend Hegseth’s meeting, said people familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to publicly discuss the issue. The order does not apply to top military officers who hold staff positions.

None of the people who spoke with The Post could recall a defense secretary ever ordering so many of the military’s generals and admirals to assemble like this. Several said it raised security concerns.

“People are very concerned. They have no idea what it means,” one person said.

Two others expressed frustration that even many commanders stationed overseas will be required to attend. One said, this is “not how this is done.”

“You don’t call GOFOs leading their people and the global force into an auditorium outside D.C. and not tell them why/what the topic or agenda is,” this person said, using an abbreviation for general officer or flag officer.

“Are we taking every general and flag officer out of the Pacific right now?” one U.S. official said. “All of it is weird.”

The orders come as Hegseth has unilaterally directed massive recent changes at the Pentagon — including directing that the number of general officers be reduced by 20 percent, firing senior leaders without cause and a high-profile new order to rebrand the Defense Department as the Department of War.

Top administration officials also have preparing a new national defense strategy that is expected to make homeland defense the nation’s top concern, after several years of China being identified as the top national security risk to the United States. Some officials familiar with the order to travel said they thought that may come up.

Hegseth’s directive in May to slash about 100 generals and admirals also has generated concern among top military leaders. He called then for a “minimum” 20 percent cut to the number of four-star officers — the military’s top rank — on active duty and a corresponding number of generals in the National Guard. There also will be another 10 percent reduction, at least, to the total number of generals and admirals across the force.

Last month Hegseth fired Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse, director of the Defense Intelligence Agency; Vice Adm. Nancy Lacore, the chief of the Navy Reserve; and Rear Adm. Milton Sands, a Navy SEAL officer who oversaw Naval Special Warfare Command. No specific reason was given in either case.

The firings were the latest in a wider purge of national security agencies’ top ranks. Since entering office, the Trump administration also has fired the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr.; the chief of naval operations, Adm. Lisa Franchetti; the commandant of the Coast Guard, Adm. Linda Fagan; and the Air Force vice chief of staff, Gen. James Slife among others. The list includes a disproportionate number of women.

Gen. David Allvin, the chief of staff of the Air Force, announced last month he will step down in November, after he was asked to retire.

Look, he can't stop another war if doesn't start one first. I think he's stopped like 9 wars already and he needs to reach double digits before the end of the year to set the bar high going into 2026 Nobel award season.

Haiti is my bet. Seeing a lot about it from Rubio. 

We need *all* the top-level command from all over the world to come together to meet in order to ... (checks notes) work up a plan for Haiti? Isn't that like going into Wisconsin?

Beat me to the punch as I was getting to the bottom of the page. This is exactly what I was thinking.

Putting all that leadership in one place seems dangerous, no?  Shouldn't you have some designated survivors spread about?  Or do it all on Teams?

It may be.  But then you have not considered that if you were trying to do a Night of the Long Knives Part 2, American Boogaloo and say frame it on outside agitators that amassing the targets could make sense.

I'm thinking less of a purge and more of a Distraction War.

Too many "release the Epstein files" memes on Twitter these days.  Gotta distract the populace.  Greenland?  Iran?  Who knows!
