The Biden administration waited until Friday to announce that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had been hospitalized on Monday, a delay of several days that alarmed the Pentagon press corps.
Pentagon Press Secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder provided a brief update on Austin in a statement that was released by the Department of Defense (DoD) at around 5 p.m., or the close of business, right as the weekend was getting underway for many in the country.
“On the evening of January 1, Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III was admitted to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for complications following a recent elective medical procedure,” Ryder said.

If our Secretary of Defense has been hospitalized for four days and no one noticed, then maybe we can do away with that position. Or at least the current office holder.
Why was Congress not notified at the very least?

Everyone in D.C is a Democrat so it was easy for them to be "discreet" about this.
If this was during Trump administration, we'll find out on Twitter one second after the Secretary of Defense was hospitalized.
To: CFW
Some reporter should ask if the president has ever been hospitalized without us knowing it.

More likely given the trans nature of the admin, they found he had no balls.

Some reporter should ask if the president has ever been hospitalized without us knowing it. He wouldn't be able to answer the question.

“Climate studies” are a symptom of deep mental illness on the part of these public officials.
It is so stupid and so fraudulent that future historians will be laughing hysterically that the Pentagon would spend a dime on this topic.
The money would be better spent on developing defense strategies against Unicorn excrement attacks by potential adversaries.

The report said Austin underwent an "elective surgery."
Maybe he decided it was time to transgender?

Collectivists always make the Vital trivial and the Trivial vital because they are unable to deal with the vital.
The signature result of a collectivist government is starvation.
