Donald Trump said that American cities should be used as “military training reasons”, as they deal with an unprecedented gathering of Admiral and generals.

“America is under the invasion of the interior,” the president told the Supreme Army newspaper, Al -Nahhas.

Trump also pledged to continue to expand the scope of the army’s deployment on American soil, which claims to be vital to fighting crime in the cities of America.

“We must use some of these dangerous cities as training reasons for our army,” he said.

The president’s warning comes as he seeks to tighten his grip on the army and expand its use in seeking to achieve his local agenda, including aggressive repression of migration, crime and violent protests that sparked fears of an authoritarian discourse during his second term.

“We go to” Chicago “very soon,” Trump told military officers on Tuesday.

Illinois governor JB Pritzker said on Monday that the National Guard in Illinois had been notified of the US Department of Internal Security that 100 soldiers be sent to the state.

after Suddenly Hundreds of major military commanders of their orders all over the world, Higseth used his statements to throw the Pentagon policies “wake up” that he claims left the United States not ready for war.

He walks on the stage in front of a great American flag, and hit the “generals and satellites” and said that the disciplinary rules and the protection of those informed of violations will be reduced. He also called the rules of participation in the Pentagon “arrogant”.

“More leadership changes will be made – from this, I am sure,” told Higseth the officers who gathered in Kuwaiti, a marine infantry base in Virginia. “If the words that I speak today make your heart drown, you should do the honorable thing and resign.”

Trump’s controversial steps followed to confirm more control over government agencies and agencies that work either under law or tradition independently of the White House, including the Federal Justice and Reserve Ministry.

Although the US military is under civilian control, its leadership usually tried to stay over the partisan battle to ensure that it has received the widest possible general support. On Tuesday, Democrats accused Trump and Hegseth of undermining this consensus.

“While American forces are facing real threats around the world, Mr. Higseth and President Trump chose to withdraw the generals and Admiral from their duties to listen to hours of political grievances,” said Jack Reed, the largest democratic of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

“For a long time, we upgraded many unified leaders for wrong reasons, based on their race, based on sexual shares, based on the so -called historical first,” said Higseth.

The Minister of Defense also focused on fitness and grooming standards.

“It is tired to look at combat formations, or any truly formation, and seeing fat forces,” said Higseth. “Likewise, it is completely unacceptable to see the generals and Admiral in the Pentagon halls and command orders throughout the country in the world.” He said that there should be “no more beard” or long hair.

Higseth added that the Pentagon will review its definition of “toxic leadership, bullying and beating”, so the army’s leadership can implement its criteria “without fear of revenge or the second guess.”

He said that military individuals “should not pay for serious mistakes throughout your career,” and some violations will be removed from service records.

The Minister of Defense also announced a comprehensive reform of the Department of the Internal Department Control Authority and suggested that there would be a campaign against complaints of violations. “There will be no” unidentified complaints … no more reputation staining, “he said.

Higseth said that the soldiers should have a “power” of the maximum “fighting” when fighting, and the Pentagon will unleash to punish violence on the enemy. We also do not fight with stupid rules of engagement.

He said: “You kill people and break things for a living.” “You are not political and not necessarily right in a polite society.”
