To avoid any misunderstanding - in the latter case, armed forces are the ultima ratio when police and border guard forces are not able to handle the situation in a common effort.

Yes, but not at the COST of ignoring human rights.

Already Hegseth has been removing women and gays from the military and firing those that have been opposed to that and opposed to doing EXACTLY what Trump wants, which are things that take human rights away.

Hegseth (at Trump's urging) is removing "Woke" policies from the military but in an overly aggressive way!

AI Overview

The term "woke policies" is a politically charged and controversial phrase, primarily used by critics to label policies perceived as excessively progressive on issues of race, gender, sexuality, and social justice.

A very rare (and over the top) meeting was arranged where over 776 U.S. generals from all over the world (more than 400 of them being oversees) were brought in to Quantico at a very high cost.

Hegseth's mystery meeting in Quantico could cost millions, require unprecedented security​

Ben Hodges, the former commanding general of U.S. Army Europe, posted to X, referencing when Adolf Hitler summoned German generals in 1935 to swear a "personal loyalty oath to the Führer."

The meeting was arranged for this reason:

AI Overview

News reports from late September 2025 indicate that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and former President Donald Trump are moving forward with plans to assert political control over the U.S. military leadership. This includes significant firings of senior military officials and the forced attendance of hundreds of generals and admirals at a highly unusual meeting at Marine Corps Base Quantico. Critics have voiced concern that these actions are an attempt to install military leaders based on loyalty rather than merit, which could undermine the military's traditional apolitical nature.

Hegseth slams 'fat generals,' says U.S. officers should resign if they don't support his agenda​

• Trump's executive order renamed Department of Defense to Department of War

WASHINGTON, Sept 30 (Reuters) - U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth slammed "fat generals" and diversity initiatives that he said led to decades of decay in the military and told a rare gathering of commanders on Tuesday they should resign if they don't support his agenda.

Why is this likely to be the reason for this meeting?

Following the "Dictator's Guideline Book":

AI Overview

According to the political theory outlined in The Dictator's Handbook, a leader's ability to maintain power relies on a "winning coalition" of loyal and essential supporters. For dictators, this small but powerful group often includes the military, making their loyalty a prime requirement for survival.

Are we on the way for this to happen?

So we can’t have the military being “aggressive”?

Exactly the woke attitude they are shitcanning, Simp.

Yes, what????????????????????????????????????

Human rights??????????????????????????
Like aborting children, those human rights??????????????????????????????????

Your post is bullshit. Women can stay in the military as long as they can
meet the one size fits all criteria. Show me where gays are getting kicked out
for being gay under the Trump administration.

 

[Papageorgio]

yeah, he is on his way to doing that and if he does, we will have a Putin clone as president!

I am so disappointed in people like you (citizens of this country) that love to see that happen

What a bunch of BS, you have nothing that is substantial to prove your BS. I am disappointed in people like yourself that continue to lie about everything.

No one has a 'Right" to be in the USA military or stay in.
Such is based upon meritocracy and meeting standards of physical ability, good health, and compliance to rules/regs/needs. Also to be proficient in your skills and ability to retrain when needed.

Had you ever served in the military you might know and understand this.

So many threads on today's meeting, most seem to be started by Leftist idiots and no-nothings and reek of bias and misinformation.

Here's a more objective source and perspective.

Trump, Hegseth Lay Out Culture, Policy Reforms in Address to Military Leaders​

The secretary of war called a gathering of U.S. generals, admirals, and senior enlisted troops to Marine Corps Base Quantico.
...
QUANTICO—President Donald Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Sept. 30 addressed a gathering of hundreds of generals, admirals, and senior enlisted troops at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, to outline their efforts to reshape the military and reform its policies.

During his remarks, Trump highlighted improved recruiting and retention figures, increased defense spending, and plans to develop new weapons systems and capabilities, including the F-47 stealth fighter and an overhauled missile defense network.

“We’re investing tens of billions of dollars in modernizing our nuclear deterrence capabilities like never before, and we’ve begun construction on what we call the ‘Golden Dome’ missile defense shield. It would be the most sophisticated in the world,” Trump said.

Trump also announced that the U.S. Navy intends to build 19 new warships in the coming year.
....
The president’s remarks followed an address in which Hegseth emphasized a shift in military culture that eschews falling fitness and grooming standards, and so-called “woke” cultural agendas.

“The new War Department golden rule is this: Do unto your unit, as you would have done unto your own child’s unit,” Hegseth told the military leaders.

“Would you want him serving with fat or unfit or under-trained troops, or alongside people who can’t meet basic standards, or in a unit where standards were lowered so certain types of troops could make it in, in a unit where leaders were promoted for reasons other than merit, performance, and war-fighting? The answer is not just no, it’s hell no.”

Hegseth announced he has directed that all troops in combat roles will have to meet the highest male standards.

Further, Hegseth directed that the Department of War will no longer make exceptions to grooming standards across the military branches, such as allowing troops to wear beards.

“When you let the small stuff go, the big stuff eventually goes,” Hegseth said. “So you have to address the small stuff. This is on duty in the field and in the rear. If you want a beard, you can join Special Forces. If not, then shave.”

From another source;
...
"This administration has done a great deal from day one to remove the social justice, politically correct, and toxic ideological garbage that had infected our department," Hegseth said. "To rip out the politics."

"No more identity months, DEI offices, dudes in dresses. No more climate change worship. No more division, distraction, or gender delusions. No more debris," Hegseth added. "As I said before and will say again, we are done with that s**t."
...
Hegseth announced that moving forward, every combat requirement will be enforced to the "highest male standard" to ensure that the American military performs at the highest level. Some of these requirements include a height and weight requirement, biannual physical tests, and rigorous combat training.

"Each service will ensure that every requirement for every combat [military occupational specialty = MOS], for every designated combat arms position returns to the highest male standard only," Hegseth said. "Because this job is life or death. Standards must be met."

"Frankly, it's tiring to look out at combat formations, or really any formation, and see fat troops," Hegseth added. "Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon and leading commands around the country and the world. It's a bad look. It is bad. And it's not who we are."
...
"If women can make it, excellent. If not, it is what it is," Hegseth said.

“It will also mean that weak men won't qualify, because we're not playing games.”

“This is combat. This is life or death.”

Here is my original though (and has been for 12 years).

Trump is an egomaniac that wants to be a Dictator but has so far and because of his incompetency, failed to accomplish it. Nonetheless, THIS year, he has had more success because he is following the Dictator's handbook more closely.

You Progs constantly come up with Hollywood entertainment productions. We spend a lot of money on defense. Attempting to save some money even as the defense budget increases is a fine goal. The military seems to not tolerate as much screwing up or games played from its members now.

Personally, I think Ghaddafi had a great idea. I want my own personal Amazonian Guard following my every command too.

Pretty Maids All in a Row

All those Bedouin beauties came to a sad end when their sultan was overthrown.

Left cultists want the army with the prettiest rainbow uniforms and matching nail polish.

Transtiffy troops will defeat MAGA military! Lucky won!

That's a ******* lie. DEI hiring is highly illegal unconstitutional racial and gender discrimination. Trump is ending that illegal policy and systemic human rights violations put in place by the Democratic party of slavery, racism and authoritarianism.

Every General who followed the illegal orders of Biden's autopen should be fired and prosecuted.

You really don't do any research, do you. You just sit there and listen (and believe blindly) everything that Trump says:

These trans service members are being forced out of the military due to Trump's ban​

From just 6 days ago:

Silencing Women in Service Weakens America’s Strength​

Secretary Peter wants our soldiers to make war, not love.

Secretary Peter wants our soldiers to make war, not love.

?????

You mean to say that the women and gay soldiers did not join the military to fight but to make love?

You BETTER be able to prove your thinking or be tagged as a totally biased person with no ability to think rationally.

That's a good thing.

The trans thing is mental illness. Not stable enough for military service.

What happened is America woke up and elected a very fine president. Republicans urge all Americans to understand we are for human freedom. We rail against the feds running your life yet Democrats want more control over your life. They are pissed off we woke up.
