U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin has been hospitalized since the first day of 2024, and while Pentagon officials have not said when he will be released, they continue to avoid saying why he went to the hospital in the first place.

Austin was admitted to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center last Monday, for what Pentagon press secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder described as complications from an elective medical procedure.

On Sunday, Ryder told Fox News that Austin had an elective medical procedure at Walter Reed on Dec. 22, 2023. Austin was on leave at the time of the procedure, and he returned home the next day.

I should have added, maybe he just let Milley inform the Chinese. He knows them better and vice versa.

“an elective medical procedure”

Heart stents?
Pacemaker?
Prostate work?

Very true!

It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out.

Yes, is this not bizarre!

Trump is calling for Austin’s firing, as ANYONE well should. Unfit to serve.

Did you know the Deputy Sec in Puerto Rico on vacation never even knew the fat boy that she was filling in for was hospitalized? Outrageous.

Seriously! The look of this whole incompetent administration. One big face shield.

And we wonder why we lost the Afghanistan departure by $80B in equipment!

Rumor mill is that Austin was 404’d in UKR 8 days ago.
I’ll run with that.
Body-doubles not withstanding.

"I heard he had a removeadickfrome procedure."

He'd already had his spine removed years ago.
