  Hegseth directs U.S. Generals and Admirals to convene for `rare' meeting in
                                    Virginia

   U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has reportedly directed numerous U.S.
   Generals and Admirals, along with some of their staff, to convene next
   week at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia.

   Hegseth ordered an urgent gathering of nearly all active-duty Generals and
   Admirals (O-7 to O-10 ranks), and their senior enlisted advisers.

   The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, September 30^th, and the Pentagon
   confirmed that Hegseth will address all of the military leaders - without
   disclosing the actual reason for the gathering.

   According to a retired senior officer who spoke to the press, this sort of
   summons is unusual. He stated that it is rare to gather such a large
   number of senior military officers - those with the rank of brigadier
   general or higher - from both domestic and overseas postings in one
   location.

     Newsmax reported that "even commanders in conflict zones and those
     stationed in Europe, the Middle East, and the Asia-Pacific region are
     expected to attend. The order does not apply to officers in staff
     roles."

   The news also follows a series of significant actions by Hegseth,
   including the dismissal of top Navy and Air Force leaders, the relief of
   the military's chief legal officers, and the implementation of a plan to
   reduce the number of senior generals and admirals by 10%.

   These decisions have been part of efforts to align military members more
   closely with President Trump's national security plans, which includes the
   recent move to rename the Department of Defense (DoD) to the "Department
   of War" (DoW) - giving the agency a strong "warrior ethos."

   Additionally, this week, President Trump called on NATO to take a more
   proactive role in Ukraine's defense, advocating for the alliance to use
   weapons directly on the front lines to counter Russian advances. He
   proposed that the U.S. could sell arms to NATO members, who would then
   transfer them to Ukraine, rather than sending equipment directly from
   American stockpiles.

     "We're sending weapons to NATO, and NATO is paying for those weapons,
     100%," the GOP president clarified.

   Trump made the remarks during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr
   Zelenskyy, just one day after newly appointed U.S. Ambassador to the
   United Nations Mike Waltz affirmed at his first Security Council session
   that the U.S. remains committed to defending "every inch" of NATO
   territory.
