Pentagon Chief Weighs Second Gathering of Top Military Leaders at Quantico: WSJ
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth considers meeting military leaders again amid controversy over senior officer firings, sailor discipline, and a censorship lawsuit.
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is considering inviting hundreds of senior military personnel to Marine Corps Base Quantico for an address this year, following his "no more beardos" speech delivered there last fall.
- Hegseth abruptly fired General Randy George earlier this year after George sought to investigate an unauthorized March 28 helicopter flyby of musician Kid Rock's Tennessee estate.
- While the Pentagon pursues charges against a 19-year-old sailor who jumped overboard after a record deployment, Steve Benen noted this treatment offers a "sharp contrast" to how Hegseth views service members who break flight rules.
- John Ullyot, who left the Pentagon after three months under Hegseth, called it "bonkers" that a defense secretary involves his wife in sensitive operations.
- The Army currently lacks a chief of staff, leaving the service rudderless while struggling against drone threats in the Middle East, with no signs Hegseth is close to filling the vacancy four months after George's dismissal.
