"It's not clear what the purpose of this fairly unprecedented meeting is,"
"It's reasonable to ask if it really stops there, or whether this is part of a broader effort to let them know the expectations of them going forward under this administration."
"If journalists can't ask questions-which is exactly what [the administration is] trying to get the Pentagon press corps to sign on and do-how are you ever to know what these kinds of massive unprecedented meetings are about?"
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth summoned hundreds of U.S. military leaders to Washington for a large, unusual meeting. The purpose of the gathering remains unclear. The concentration of generals and admirals pulled from active battles and front lines raises significant security concerns. Questions arise whether the meeting also serves to convey new expectations for military leaders under the administration. Concurrently, new Pentagon press-access rules were announced that could restrict journalists' ability to ask questions. Reduced press access would limit transparency and make it difficult to determine the aims and content of unprecedented high-level military meetings.
