Hegseth's 'Global Meetup' Sends Generals Packing to Virginia
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth threw what could be the most confusing professional mixer ever, summoning senior military leaders worldwide to an in-person meeting at a Marine Corps base in Virginia next week, according to Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell, who mysteriously offered zero details. The January 29, 2025 announcement got generals and congressional officials scratching their headsāwhy disrupt tanks, bases, and presumably war games across the Middle East, Europe, and Indo-Pacific just to hug it out face-to-face? Even the Pentagon mysteriously dodged questions about remote options, despite secure global comms, leaving everyone wondering if Hegseth's rally cry is 'Why Zoom when you can storm?' The intrigue thickens like a season finale cliffhanger.
