"Even if Hegseth is calling this meeting to discuss serious issues of national defense...few things are important enough

to justify the security risk of putting the entire top U.S. military command, the secretary of defense, and the president all in the same room."

IMO the word "somewhat" isn't needed.

It would be one thing if he called this meeting but kept it secret. But since this is a reality tv presidency, he's publicized it so our enemies - which have increased since 1/20/25 - know when & where ALL our military leaders (& wanna be 👑) will be together.
