Hegseth CRUSHED After Generals Call Him Out Over Military Exodus

[media=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeXgPxuNIhM]

“‘He lost us’: Generals, senior officers say trust in Hegseth has evaporated - https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/...

"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has lost the trust and respect of some top military commanders, with his public “grandstanding” widely seen as unprofessional and the personnel moves made by the former cable TV host leading to an unprecedented and dangerous exodus of talent from the Pentagon, said current senior military officers and current and former Defense Department officials.

Numerous high-ranking officers painted Mr. Hegseth’s Sept. 30 speech to hundreds of generals and admirals gathered at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia as a turning point in how his leadership style, attitude and overall competency are viewed in the upper echelons of the U.S. armed forces.

“It was a massive waste of time. … If he ever had us, he lost us,” one current Army general told The Washington Times."”

I'd love to hear what the flag officers say in private about him.
@MoveAlong In the military, flag officers are the senior officers who are entitled to fly a flag representing their rank or command.

They include:

In the Navy, Coast Guard, and Marine Corps: admirals — rear admiral (lower half), rear admiral (upper half), vice admiral, and admiral.

In the Army, Air Force, and Space Force: generals — brigadier general, major general, lieutenant general, and general.

Essentially, any officer of one-star rank or higher is a flag officer. The term comes from the naval tradition of flying the officer’s personal flag on a ship or base to indicate their presence.
@MoveAlong Their private conversations run the full gambit, but some get really spicy!

I bet these were four Star doozies!
