“Could have been an email,” another general said
Generals who were flown from across the world to attend the meeting with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday said there was no point in doing it, with one calling it a “waste of money.”
“More like a press conference than briefing the generals,” another attendee told Politico. “Could have been an email.” A third called it a “total waste of money.”
Let’s say they do the “brave” thing by naming themselves. They’re thrown out with their middle fingers up, and replaced by an inexperienced sycophant.
That sycophant is now in charge for hundreds if not thousands of other individuals and their lives.
It’s simply not worth their pride to risk the lives of these people under their command.
I think withholding their identities is a smart, if not expected, move.
