Marine Corps Commandant and commander of the White Hats General Eric M. Smith erupted in anger at War Secretary Pete Hegseth’s meeting of admirals and generals in Quantico, Virginia, Tuesday afternoon after learning that an AI algorithm had picked him—and 250 other high-ranking officers—to take a mandatory polygraph loyalty test, a source in the general’s office told Real Raw News.
Nearly 800 flag officers attended the “warrior ethos” gathering at Marine Corps Base Quantico Tuesday morning, at which Hegseth delivered a 90-minute blistering speech assailing festering wokeness and obesity among Armed Forces members, as well as verbally thrashing male officers who had posted TikTok videos espousing LQBQT+ ideology and images of themselves wearing female clothing like dresses and mini skirts as an affirmation of their reformism.
Before and after the convocation, though, 250 attendees received messages instructing them to report to Assistant Secretary of War for Health Affairs Dr. Steve Ferrara for a compulsory health assessment. General Smith, our source said, was among the first to be summoned. The general, he added, reported to a room where Ferrara and three men in dark suits whom Gen. Smith had never met sat around a concave conference table atop which sat a polygraph machine and phlebotomy tools.
Gen. Smith gazed at the machine and the blood draw equipment, instantly appraising the scenario. “You think I’m an imposter?” he asked Ferrara.
“What we think doesn’t matter; the blood and the test will tell the truth,” Ferrara replied.
“Who the fuck are these spooks?” the general asked Ferrara about the suited men.
“They decide if you leave this room or not,” Ferrara responded ominously.
Gen. Smith, our source said, reminded Ferrara that he was an emissary of President Trump, a career military officer, and commander of the president’s anti-Deep State task force.
“This isn’t personal. The algorithm selected you,” Ferrara said.
“Whose algorithm? You’re using AI to what end—see who might be a spy or a double? Son, I was slaughtering Deep Staters while you were trying to get into medical school. I’ve bled for my country—what the fuck have you done?”
“This isn’t personal, and it isn’t just about you. 250 others are taking the same test,” Ferrara said. “If you have a problem, talk to War Secretary Hegseth; I’m doing my job.”
The general, our source, reluctantly capitulated to the blood and polygraph tests, which he passed with excellence, proving he was not an imposter or a Trojan Horse trying to undermine Trump’s presidency. Nonetheless, he felt betrayed, as if his decades of meritorious service could have been annulled by some “pencil neck geek’s” faulty programming.
We asked our source what questions the polygraph examiner had posed to General Smith.
“Gen. Smith wouldn’t say. Apparently, he got told not to discuss the questions with anyone else. What I do know for sure is that some officers refused to take the tests…and they’re, well, they’ve been relieved of command.”
