I wonder if Trump just learned about the rapidly assembled party meeting Saddam called in 1979 and thought “yeah I wanna get in on that.”
Probably that, but it won’t be short, it’ll be 45 minutes and almost entirely off topic.
“…beautiful ballroom, nobody knew how smart Putin is…”
“… I know military better than all of you”
The muscle strain necessary to keep dozens of pairs of eyes from visibly rolling will be audible.
Hope they can keep a poker face. Eye rolls will be identified by AI emotion recognition software. Eye rollers will be asked to stand, recite the party’s slogan, and leave the room.
“Our emotion recognition SDK allows you to detect emotions in real time, from images or videos, meaning you can analyze the emotions of people in real-world situations, thus making data-driven business decisions”
Hegseth and Trump lie so often that, if a culling of the military happens, the press at most can claim that they weren’t told beforehand but there is no way in hell they could possibly claim to be surprised.
I heard, on good authority, that it was going to be an in-person “battlefield” promotion by Trump of Hegseth to Sky Marshal, where Hegseth was going to lay out his plans for the invasion of Klendathu.
Trump had seen a documentary, and wanted to act fast.

MAGAs: how do they work?
That deserves a hat tip! Excellent. 
How can the (surviving) generals pledge their personal loyalty to the Great and Dear Leader if the Great and Dear Leader isn’t there to personally take their pledges…??? [/sarcasm]
Maybe it’ll be like the Republic of Gilead took over in *The Handmaid’s Tale*. A few dozen masked, heavily armed ICE ‘agents’….
50-50 chance Trump will be there (or is he scheduled out of town that day?).
Hmmm… 
I’m guessing more like an hour and 45 minutes.
Maybe we should have a pool…
WaPo now says Trump will attend the meeting.
Small notebooks and pencils will be handed out to the attendees. (NorK ref.)
Golf pencils stamped with the names of trump’s golf courses.
IF Trump stops at McDonald’s on the way, there maybe could be a security concern. But Quantico?
Will it also identify the ones who fall asleep during the dog and pony show?
He could take personal control of a section of the military, Federally controlled…and call it “F Troop”.
