Isn't Slate a leftist site?

For Them to call for his resignation, is a big thing.

Yeah, he lost his prostate, but there are many brave women who lost their breasts, such as Christina Applegate, who went public, and she was not in a very important public government position.

This story should be constant breaking news.
Incredible incompetency.
Biden should be impeached for this alone.

but he needs to tell the commander in chief

Perhaps he did - he just didn't tell Biden.

How do things happen at Walter Reed without transparency?

I’m actually seeing quite a number of Democrats calling for this guy’s replacement over how this was mishandled.

I was wondering where Austin’s protector and defender was during this situation, then I remembered General Milleybhad retired last year, shortly after Labor Day.

The problem is that at least for the time being Kathleen Hicks becomes the Acting Secretary of Defense. We don’t want that.

Yep. Had prostate surgically removed and went home the next day and then came back to hospital ICU with an infection... probably was septic since he stayed in ICU for a while. Wonder if they will put him on Lupron injections. Great, we would have a Sec. of Defense with no balls or would that what we already had.

Whatever health problems he has is one thing. Violating national defense protocol in that fashion is another thing entirely. He needs to go. Incredibly incompetent, in the simplest terms, but that still does not make sense. More a thing of defiance.

Disclosing that he was in for prostate cancer operation or treatment, should not have been a secret or embarrassing.

Methinks that it was very embarrassing, only because he was in for a sex-change operation. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, not in today’s world of wokeness, and the woke general should have been open about it. ;)

“Incredible incompetency.”

Name one competent person in the FJB’s administration.

I am not familiar with her, but I do not doubt you. In general, this is *NOT* a job for a female.

Well the spinectomy was done long ago.

I don’t think it’ll matter that much. The Generals at the Pentagon will just tell her what to do. But still, it’s a bad look.

Lloyd Austin is a black privileged person filling an affirmative action slot in a position that was far above his competency level just like Lt. Michael Byrd of the Capital Police. Since the Obama administration the US has overfilled our government positions with these incompetent people. This has become quite obvious.

Or perhaps he told Biden, and Joe forgot or didn’t understand. You know, the thing.

If Newsom is going to be beaten in November it is essential for red partisans to de-emphasize Biden as quickly as possible.

Listening to the NH primary ads from the clown car, it’s constant “Biden did this, Biden did that” like Haley and Christie and RDS are too stupid to know Biden does nothing at all.
