Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is causing headaches after demanding that top U.S. military officials descend on Virginia from around the world for a meeting.
Hegseth, who wants to go by his preferred moniker “secretary of war,” has called for hundreds of generals and admirals to attend, even though he has not specified the meeting’s purpose and scheduled it at extremely short notice, according to The Washington Post.

“People are very concerned. They have no idea what it means,” one person familiar with the matter told the Post.
“You don’t call GOFOs [General Officers/Flag Officers] leading their people and the global force into an auditorium outside D.C. and not tell them why/what the topic or agenda is,” another unnamed source added.
"The Post suggested that the meeting, which comes just ahead of a looming government shutdown, could touch on plans to shift homeland defense to the nation’s top priority, replacing a years-long suggestions that China poses the greatest national security risk to the U.S."
