So much reported confusion about what that meeting of generals, called by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, was all about. The two early statements from Trump and Hegseth telling attendees if they didn’t like the message being presented, then just resign, clarifies the real intent: to get as many as possible to resign so they can appoint new loyalists while avoiding the blowback of firings. The more military loyalists, the easier it will be to continue authoritarian actions, such as using U.S. cities as training grounds.
