It seems that Secretary of War (!) Pete Hegseth wants to hold an important kegger at the Marine base in Quantico, Virginia, and he is demanding a gathering of more brass than can be found in the Alcorn State Sounds of Dyn-O-Mite marching band. Nobody, including many of the invitees, can figure out what it’s all about. From The Washington Post :
The highly unusual directive was sent to virtually all of the military’s top commanders worldwide, according to more than a dozen people familiar with the matter. It was issued earlier this week, against the backdrop of a potential government shutdown , and as Hegseth’s overtly political moves have deepened a sense of distress among his opponents who fear that he is erasing the Defense Department’s status as a nonpartisan institution.
