The U.S. military generals' meeting convened by U.S. Secretary of Defense Hegseth was held on September 30th at the Marine Corps Base in Quantico, Virginia. In a 45-minute speech, Hegseth said that the Ministry of National Defense needs to have "the right talents" and "the right culture", and put forward 10 new instructions in this regard.
It is worth noting that US President Trump also appeared at the meeting and delivered a speech for nearly 70 minutes. In his speech, he told the generals in the audience that American cities should be used as "military training grounds".
The scene showed that the top military in Taiwan almost silently listened to the two people's speeches. Some analysts believe that this response complies with the US military's "no-party" guidelines.
It is reported that Hagerseth's 10 new instructions include strengthening physical standards and tests, and strengthening grooming requirements. Reports point out that the most disturbing one is the "ultimatum" issued by Hagerseth. He told the officers in the audience to either obey or resign. "Those who don't agree with my views can leave. If you are not satisfied with what I said today, you can choose to resign immediately. The sooner we find the right person, the faster we can push new policies."
What did Trump say at the rally of senior generals in the United States?
After he spoke, the scene was almost silent, and since then Trump appeared at the meeting and spoke, I’ve never entered such a quiet room.” Trump joked, “You’re happy, you’re happy, you’re happy, you’re happy, you’re happy, you’re happy, you’re happy, you’re happy, you’re happy, you’re happy, you’re happy, you’re happy, you’re happy.”
Trump’s speech seemed to be immersed in a gallery of history.He talked about how the Department of War (US Department of Defense) was renamed in the 1950s (in fact, it was in the late 1940s), and mentioned that the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission had confirmed that its strike on Iran destroyed Tehran’s nuclear program (although Iran still has a nuclear program, and the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission has not existed since the mid-1970s).
He even talked about how he defeated the Associated Press in court (the case is still under trial).
Speaking of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, he said that he had asked someone, "'How long have you been fighting?' 'Three thousand years, sir.' That's a long time. But, I think, we've solved it." He later added: "The war is very strange."
Later, Trump began to repeat his previous rally speech routine, complaining about former presidents Biden and Obama; expressing his disappointment with the Nobel Prize Committee: "They will award the prize to a man who has done nothing." Then he began to be complacent about the tariff war he had launched, pointing out that the money could buy many warships. He said that if you think about it, maybe the United States should build warships again and use steel instead of the "paper-paste" and aluminum materials currently used by the Navy. Trump complained to senior U.S. generals in the audience: "Aluminum melts as soon as it sees a missile, and when the missile is about two miles away, it starts to melt."
Even if these senior generals had never participated in the “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) campaign, or had never even seen it in their own eyes, they still heard the ugliest part of Trump’s speech – he told officers that they would participate in addressing domestic threats and fighting “internal enemies.”
Trump then criticized “radical left-wing Democrats” and said the U.S. was experiencing “internal invasion.” Trump also sharply assaulted Democratic-led cities such as San Francisco, Chicago, New York and Los Angeles, and said he would continue to push for “military law enforcement.”
"I told Hagerseth that we should use some dangerous cities as training grounds for the military or the National Guard," Trump said. He said the army would soon enter Chicago."It's a big city, but the officials are very incompetent." It is reported that federal agents have begun patrolling downtown Chicago. This is the latest upgrade in Chicago's immigration law enforcement operations after Trump announced that he would send troops to Portland.
Trump also said he had seen reports in the media about “soldiers being spit in the mouth” and under the new policy, it should be “they spit in the mouth, and we (soldiers) will beat them.”
The top military officials listened to the speech in silence
The Democratic Party’s Rapid Growth: Creating a Dangerous Precedent
Duke University political scientist Peter Pfeiffer said the military hierarchy listened to the speech in silence, which was consistent with the military's "non-partisan" guidelines. "They did a good job of completing a difficult test like walking a tightrope." Peter said they had listened to the speech but had not responded. "Trump and Hegseth have raised many issues in the military that the military is expected to address in the coming months."
Former Pentagon official Corey Shek said the president even encouraged U.S. troops to engage in violence against Americans, “which is very dangerous.” Democratic lawmakers quickly massed the rally unnecessarily and created a dangerous precedent.U.S. Senate military committee member Jack Reed criticized that when the U.S. military faced a real threat in reality, the defense secretary and the president forced them to leave the place of their mission and drive them back to the United States to listen to their “claims.”
Some analysts say that while the top military officials have not participated in the MAGA (Make America Great Again) campaign, they have heard a “classic Trump-style speech.”
In the face of Trump’s second term, senior U.S. military had to start thinking: Who else could keep them from the influence of Trump’s impulsive ideas?
