Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin's staff requested the ambulance to "not show up with lights and sirens"

 

Don't worry his assistant is a woman who was on an island vacation when she took over for Austin. Does ANYONE work in the Biden administration?

Wait a minute: Are they saying that the ambulance was supposed to show up without lights or sirens?

Do ambulances show up at homes with lights and sirens on? I don’t think so. His aide was as stupid as they come, revealing their surreptitious intent to keep his illness a secret.

WE are the (neo) Marxists now.

Remember when Soviet leaders would have a stroke, and you'd have to guess from looking at photos, or they would die and we'd learn about it a week or two later?

Tell me how DC is different.

They always park with their lights on for safety reasons. What was he hiding?

"Does ANYONE work in the Biden administration?"

Oh, if that were only true.

I’ve seen that happen before. Several times. Depends on the patient.

What is it with these Biden cabinet members and silent ambulances? Pete Buttigieg also asked for the ambulance to show up without lights and sirens when his water broke.

That’s actually pretty common. Especially at night in neighborhoods. There isn’t really a need to do that.

Once you get out on the main routes they will turn on the lights and noise to get through traffic.

Then when they pull into the hospital they shut it all down.

My daughter is a paramedic and she just told me that.

I just don’t understand this whole thing. What is the big deal if he was having medical problems? What possible reason would he have to hide this? He goes to the hospital, someone else covers his role. No big deal. Unless the medical problem is embarrassing in someway.

It’s unbelievable that he wasn’t forced to resign over this.

At this point I think proof of life is warranted.

The Secretary of Defense is suppose to be always available 24 hours a day for our military to reapomd around the world to reach the President.

A lot of stuff you never hear or see is constantly happening behind the scenes.

Here is a video explaining why it’s serious. The guy quickly explaining it is a former F-14 Radar Intercept Officer (he would be the equivalent of the character Goose in the movie Top Gun) and retired Naval Academy instructor.

Here is his channel. He has very military coverage that gives good details about how things work if you are interested.

He’s a stinking leftist but I’d not want an ambulance to come roaring through my subdivision with lights and sirens blaring if I had put through a 911 call.

I have, too. Maybe lights if there is a lot of traffic but I wouldn’t want sirens because I wouldn’t want my neighbors gawking and gossiping.
