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.

This is not some low level civil servant, this is the Secretary of Defense - and no one missed him during this period?

The people (all the staff of the office of the SecDef including all the Deputy SecDefs and Assistant SecDefs) catering to the corner office knew full-well that he was missing. It was their duty to deal with his absence and for some strange reason they covered this story up.

A heart transplant is an “elective medical procedure”.

Clot shot. Reviewing all the excess mortality rates and vax injuries from independent sources ( not senile Joe’s corrupted .gov sources), his injecting dangerous MRNA numerous times into his body is most likely…..voluntarily injecting an unknown substance into your body is what drug addicts do.

The absolute shame is how many Americans bought into the ineffective and deadly injections.

We can’t believe anything that’s being reported, so who knows.

So what’s the big lie...there’s got to be more than just not informing the higher ups...Like Blinkin and Biden...

Failed Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin should be fired immediately for improper professional conduct and dereliction of duty. He has been missing for one week, and nobody, including his boss, Crooked Joe Biden, had a clue as to where he was, or might be. He has performed poorly, and should have been dismissed long ago, along with “General” Mark Milley, for many reasons, but in particular the catastrophic surrender in Afghanistan, perhaps the most embarrassing moment in the history of our Country!

****

researching for more.

Yep....I referenced RPOTUS’ comments, on AWOL Austin, on another thread.

Dereliction of Duty, for sure.

Don’t know. Just read another report that quoted Austin as feeling better & he could have done things better as far as telling others, & will try harder in the future, but he still says his procedure was his own medical business. He said he will be returning to work soon.

OK, as I said I would get back. Here’s the main opinion. Since we are under military law since Trump left office, anyone not abiding to these laws are being taken care of by our military through their laws. The Miami incident is said to have been a BIG WH’s sting. Miami is a very busy hub for leaving the US. What better way to detain our suspected TRAITORS. If these rumors and CIC Trump’s message...are to be understood...was Austin not following military law under our COG? Just my gathering.

Except his absence is not his own business. And I don’t believe his “illness” is his own business either.

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

I think this will be the outcome. We may never get the straight facts on why though. It will be some nebulous reason like "Unable to continue performing the duties..." as you said.

“Except his absence is not his own business”

That’s the “ I could have done better” part.

Another report said that a very few people at DOD were told on Jan 1 or 2 that he would be gone for a week. But they weren’t told that he was in the hospital. Apparently they thought he was out of town. His Deputy was supposedly put in charge on Jan. 2nd, but she didn’t know that he was in the hospital either.

It would be hard to come up with a body double with all Austin’s propensities and body type.
