Pete Hegseth Sparks Worry With ‘Urgent’ Meeting of Hundreds of Generals

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has made the “highly unusual” move of summoning hundreds of military generals and admirals to Virginia for an “urgent” meeting next week, without telling top brass what the meeting was about, The Washington Post reported.

Anonymous sources told The Post that Hegseth’s order, “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.” Even those stationed in conflict zones were expected to attend, The Post reported.

The directive affects “about 800 generals and admirals spread across the United States and dozens of other countries and time zones,” the report said.
