POTENTIAL TAIWAN INVASION
This is the time to prep!
Pete Hegseth launches a dystopian lie detector test. Cracking down on leakers.
Generals must sign NDAs and take lie detector tests. Leaking secret information to the press is traitorous.
(For those of you who think lie detector tests don't work, they have much better ones now. You strap on the general lie detector test and that raises the stress level on anyone trying to beat that machine, but then they can detect vocal stress and they videotape your face and can detect microexpressions. When you are looking at all three only the most elite liars can beat this, for 99.9% of people they will identify the liars. I suspect they now use AI to evaluate the data and will use the best experts to then come in when AI detects a problem, this way they can do a hundred or two hundred of these tests and really weed it down rapidly).
Now combine this test with the NSA and think of what they will know. The secret to having an effective interrogation is knowledge. The more you know the harder it is for a liar to lie to you. This could also explain why they called this meeting. They knew there were "traitors" in their midst and this meeting was to flush out the traitors. The expression is rattle the cage.
As far as DEI goes, I can understand how in an age of intelligence gathering, computers, satellites and high tech gadgetry that the physical fitness requirements for being in the military would change. After all, flying a drone from a trailer in Va is not the same as being a marine going into battle on the front lines. We might have someone who is superb at analyzing intelligence but who could not carry a 200lb soldier off the battlefield. However, for soldiers who will actually be on the battlefield I doubt there is any justification for changing the PE requirements. You still need to be fit to run twenty miles and strong enough to carry other soldiers if they are wounded.
Wow, we have two nuclear power plants that are running their cooling using backup generators that are run with diesel. We are very close to a major nuclear crisis in the Russia/Ukraine conflict. It is a powerful threat to Ukraine, if you get the upper hand and can invade they pull the plug, damage those backup generators with a little C4 as they retreat and you have this massive nuclear meltdown that Ukraine can inherit.
