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 am thinking heart ( stents not completely alleviating blockage) or clots …heart lungs or brain. This guy was ridiculously afraid of covid and probably took every booster.

[Dacula]

He is no longer to fulfill his duties. Appoint a successor, yes go through the process, and be done with it.

[V_TWIN]

Lol!

[bort]

Is he transitioning?

[V_TWIN]

I’m trying NOT TO 😏

[Fido969]

Looking at this guy’s work as SecDef, I think the military probably had an upgrade while he was out of the picture. Couldn’t have been much worse

[Clarancebeaks]

He reminds me of a cannibal king in an old Tarzan movie. He’s so damn ugly, maybe he got plastic surgery to try to keep from scaring children.

Cardiac catherization for aterial blockage...

Then he got a stroke during or after the procedure.

Unreal.

[MtnClimber]

Was the elective procedure Booster #9?

[Red Badger]

At his age I’m guessing a TERP procedure that has gotten infected.............

[Sacajaweau]

Covid is my first choice because of the time line and they’re checking who was near him...like heads of states....

[silverleaf]

Same thing came to my mind

Sex change operation.

[Red Badger]

TURP..................

[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

Finest care in the world — we are told — such that some elective procedure continues with complications required significant treatment days. Sounds like the elective procedure spawned required procedures in short order.

[Sacajaweau]

He tested positive in January of 2022.

My bet is that it was an elder circumcision gone bad.

NOw the idjit likely has an infection in his private area whichi should disqualify him from further service.Too many trips to the MIddle East...BUahahahahahaha!
