In case you haven’t heard, the Alpha males are coming back home!
Yes, US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is calling about 800 Alpha males (generals and other boss-like military brass) to a meeting Tuesday. It’s never happened before so it’s a big deal, or maybe not, depending on what Alpha male you’re listening to.
I know, like me, you’re probably frightened beyond your senses because we’ve had adolescent adult males for the longest time hyping up bullshit that there is such a thing as an Alpha male, and Lord almighty, when they lay down their special brand of shit sauce…it’s their way or the highway.
Of course, there’s no such thing, but weak-minded adult males who want you to believe that some dudes, namely themselves, are uber cool beyond all other dudes is a thing they like to promote…and incredibly, people believe them. And sadly, there are women who sometimes like to swoon a bit over idiots and believe in fairy tales, thus continuing to give these cocksters a platform rather than laughing them off whatever stage they try to take over.
US War Chief Summons Hundreds of Generals and Admirals for Urgent Meeting – via antiwar.com
Who knows what the meeting of the Alpha males will be about. Staff reductions? Has to be more grandiose than that. How about what America does most frequently…more war?
The reason for the meeting is unclear, and even the generals and admirals are reportedly unaware of the purpose. The meeting may be related to Hegseth’s recent orders for major changes at the Pentagon, including a directive to reduce the number of four-star officers by 20%.
Another possibility is that Hegseth is ordering the meeting to prepare the senior military officers for a new war of major military escalation. A congressional aide speaking to CNN said that unless Hegseth planned to announce “a major new military campaign or a complete overhaul of the military command structure, I can’t imagine a good reason for this.”
There are several areas around the world where the US could potentially launch a new war, including Venezuela, as the US has deployed a fleet of warships to the Caribbean and has begun bombing boats in the area under the pretext of fighting drug trafficking, though US officials have told The New York Times that the real purpose of the deployment is regime change.
At least there’s several areas around the world where the US could potentially launch a new war. That’s good, right? I mean, geez…what else would we be doing? Feeding the poor, housing the homeless, providing free health care to all citizens? Banish those thoughts. The US doesn’t do shit like that. It takes a lot of money to provide those things…money that, naturally, should be spent on destruction.
The US and Israel could be preparing to launch another war on Iran, as the US has maintained a hardline policy against the Islamic Republic since the ceasefire that ended the 12-Day War, and tensions are soaring in Eastern Europe between Russia and NATO. President Trump has also recently floated the idea of retaking Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan, an idea that would require military force since it has been rejected by the Taliban.
The War Department may also be looking to turn military operations inward, as President Trump recently declared that Antifa is a “domestic terrorist organization.”
Later on Thursday, both President Trump and Vice President JD Vance downplayed the meeting. “It’s not particularly unusual that generals who report to the secretary of War and then to the president of the United States are coming to speak with the secretary of War,” Vance said. “It’s actually not unusual at all and I think it’s odd that you’ve made it into such a big story.”
Naw! Not unusual at all that 800+ Alpha minnows males have been summoned home to their spawning pool. Just a casual type meeting. There’s nothing else on the war horizon…right?
Report: US Could Start Bombing Venezuela Within a Few Weeks – antiwar.com
The NBC report said that some Trump administration officials were disappointed that the US military escalations in the region had not impacted Maduro’s grip on power or prompted any significant response. One official said that the White House has faced more pushback over bombing boats in the region than it expected. Recent polling shows the majority of Americans are opposed to the US military using force to carry out regime change in Venezuela.

“It’s really just a very nice meeting talking about how well we’re doing militarily, talking about being in great shape, talking about a lot of good, positive things. It’s just a good message,” the president told NBC News. “We have some great people coming in and it’s just an ‘esprit de corps.’ You know the expression ‘esprit de corps’? That’s all it’s about. We’re talking about what we’re doing, what they’re doing, and how we’re doing.” – antiwar.com
