Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered an unprecedented meeting of top U.S. military leaders from all over the world to convene in Virginia. This isn’t your typical meeting, either; normally, a gathering of this size would take place on a secure video call. The lack of detail surrounding the meeting’s topic has everyone guessing, and some are starting to worry that a big “purge” might be coming.
A spokesperson for the War Department, Sean Parnell, confirmed the meeting, stating that “The Secretary of War will be addressing his senior military leaders early next week,” but didn’t offer any further details. The fact that he’s asking an estimated 800 generals and admirals, who are spread out all over the world, to fly to Virginia for a single meeting is highly unusual. The scale and scope of this gathering are simply not what you’d expect.
