“Good morning and welcome to the War Department because the era of the Department of Defense is over,” Hegseth told the gathered brass. “From this moment forward, the only mission of the newly restored Department of War is this: warfighting — preparing for war and preparing to win.”
(Nate Jackson – The Patriot Post) “Could have been an email,” complained an anonymous defense official to Politico about the major military brass meeting called by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and the commander-in-chief, Donald Trump.
Respectfully, Tuesday’s gathering of roughly 800 high-level military officers in Quantico, Virginia, was worth attending in person.
That doesn’t mean Trump didn’t use the platform for his usual sort of stump speech, which isn’t exactly the best use of military leaders’ time or money. It doesn’t mean that the meeting didn’t, as Politico groused, have “the feeling of a Hollywood production.” But Trump 2.0 is about making big productions of undoing the destruction of Joe Biden’s term. The messaging is as important as the policy for this version of Team Trump.
And Secretary Hegseth’s was one heck of a message.
