That's my guess as well. "Swear a blood oath to King Trump personally or you're fired right now".
I'm skeptical of that.
This will be hundreds of "military men". Yes, the vast majority are pencil pushers who are in worse shape than the average divorced dad "trying to get back out there". Even if they are bringing every single chud they can find, they are still going to be the "weaker" group. And chuds hate feeling weak.
If it were just the inevitable loyalty oaths, I would expect that to happen in more isolated groups. And while it is always possible that they could batch the generals into the room to kiss the skidmarked ring, that still feels like a risk when they might not get the photo op they want at the end.
My money is on "planning how to secede from the United Nations". Aka "planning to go to war with basically all of NATO and a bunch of Global South countries who want revenge". Whether that goes anywhere is a different discussion, but "all of our generals made some great plans" is a talking point they would want.
