This is like saying, "talking to a guy who plays chess at the park." Or "talking to a guy who likes pickup hoops."

You don't actually hang out with 10 YO's, you hang out with your fellow Dad friends playing against 10 YO's in a young man's game.

That is nothing like what I said. Regroup and try again.

More and more I think about this, it has to be some kind of Trump/Miller kabuki theater. This got out on purpose and that usually means bashing someone, be it gays, immigrants, racial minorities. Women in combat.

Some dog whistle for the MAGAs.

I don't understand the insult, then. I thought the joke is that he plays with 10 YO's. I guess the joke is just that he plays video games that 10 YO's also play? It's all competitive gaming, whether it's hoops or video games, and that was my point.

I need to see evidence its an issue worth our time. For example, I cannot imagine for one second that it is so common or frequent as to justify the expense or risk of flying every commander of our forces in the World to come get yelled at about it.

What exactly is "thinking like an O3"?

Some of the best officers I knew never made it past O3 because they wouldn't play politics.

The fact that Hegseth was barely into his job and releasing classified info on an unsecure communication channel is enough to know that he isn't remotely qualified for the job. Doubling down by blaming others for it was icing on the cake.

While the democrats daily bash conservatives as Nazis, fascists, racists, misogynist, Christian nationalists.
But of course, that‘s (D)ifferent

This.

Or...

The Post suggested that the meeting, which comes just ahead of a looming government shutdown, could touch on plans to shift homeland defense to the nation’s top priority, replacing a years-long suggestions that China poses the greatest national security risk to the U.S.

I.E. All generals and troops are to report back to the US (presumably to quell the upcoming rebelling when Donald declares martial law). 😜

OMFG

You can't be serious. This ****ing egotistical ****tard is really spending our tax dollars for a ****ing pep rally!?!?

How bout it MAGA supporters? You like this?

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s surprise gathering of hundreds of generals and admirals in Virginia next week is being called so he can describe the administration’s reinvention of the Department of Defense as the “Department of War” and outline new standards for military personnel, according to half a dozen people familiar with the planning.

“It’s meant to be a show of force of what the new military now looks like under the president,” a White House official told CNN.

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.”

What’s the problem? Is it because the idiot author used the term “pep rally”?

Why not just send out a memo and/or do a video conference? No, this is just more ******** waste of our taxpayers money to appease another giant ego.
