Generals Reportedly Slam Hegseth Meeting as “Total Waste of Money”
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s Tuesday meeting with generals, which focused on implementing a “warrior ethos” and enforcing grooming and physical fitness standards, was widely criticized by attendees. Multiple generals expressed that the event was a waste of resources, with some describing it as a press conference rather than a productive briefing. Hegseth also addressed the department’s mission of “warfighting” while simultaneously announcing changes to the Inspector General and Equal Opportunity processes. Sources cited in a Daily Mail report described Hegseth’s recent behavior as “manic” and “obsessed” with security, which is placing a strain on the Army agency responsible for his protection.
