The Pentagon announced earlier today that Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin was Admitted into Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on the Evening of January 1st due to possible “Compilations” from a recent Elective Medical Procedure; he has since been Recovering Well and was reportedly expected to Resume his Full-Duties as Secretary today.

According to Members of Congress, they did not know about the Situation with Secretary Austin, with them only being Notified about his Hospitalization earlier tonight right before the Statement was Publicly Released; however, the DoD stated that during his Hospitalization that Austin was still prepared to Act for and Exercise all of his Powers as Secretary of Defense.

Praying man!

"Compilations"? I hate those fuckin' things.

Elective procedure? Like transitioning to male?

Sex change?

Something stuck up his ass?

dr rachel levine did the surgery, not good.

Yes.  His head.

Gender affirming surgery can be fraught with peril

Clot shot

Probably for Stupidity.

"recent Elective Medical Procedure"
Uh, like what?

Was he ever in the military? Or just get assigned a title?  I have seen office cadets typing up how great they were getting promoted because they were in charge of the regulations all while real soldiers were out in the thick doing work the office tramp could not begin to do. I guess that's why they call them officers.

He was in the army for 40 years and retired as a 4 star.

Was the procedure a little nip & tuck to become the first female Secretary of Defense?

How can he possibly be sick…………

Well he was an officer, probably trying to put some brains back in. Body rejected it.

Surgically remove what’s left of his conscience.

Next.

Naw, he doesn't have the balls to try that.

Got something lodged in his butt again.

That's a Shane

Probably OD'd on cock.

Addadicktomy

Looks like your typical GS employee on the way to their cubicle about to do absolutely nothing for 8 hours except for drafting up an EO complaint for being denied promotion on the last hiring panel they submitted their 3 year old plagiarized application to.

Safe and effective

First female SECDEF. Wish her well. I really do. She could be VPOTUS. Overshadows Kamala in the smarts dept. She really does.

My thoughts exactly.

Pentagon is slammed for keeping Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's hospitalization secret for FIVE DAYS, as wars rage in Gaza and Ukraine



The Pentagon has been criticized for keeping U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's  hospitalization secret for five days, after he experienced complications following an elective surgery.

Austin, who is 70, sits just below President Joe Biden at the top of the chain of command of the U.S. military and his duties require him being available at a moment's notice to respond to any manner of national security crisis.

It is not clear whether Austin ever lost consciousness before or after he was admitted to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on New Year's Day.

The Pentagon Press Association, in a letter to Pentagon officials, criticized the Defense Department's secrecy, saying that Austin was a public figure who had no claim to medical privacy in such a situation.

'At a time when there are growing threats to U.S. military service members in the Middle East and the U.S. is playing key national security roles in the wars in Israel and Ukraine, it is particularly critical for the American public to be informed about the health status and decision-making ability of its top defense leader,' it wrote.



The Pentagon Press Association letter noted that even U.S. presidents disclose when they must delegate duties due to medical procedures.

The Pentagon did not say what the elective surgery or complications were, not the extent to which his duties were assumed by his deputy, Kathleen Hicks.

Those duties include being ready and available to respond to an incoming nuclear attack.

'He is recovering well and is expecting to resume his full duties today,' Air Force Major General Patrick Ryder, the top Pentagon spokesperson, said in a statement on Friday.

Just a day earlier, Ryder held a televised news briefing that conveyed the sense of business as usual at the Pentagon, offering Austin's condolences to ally Japan following its New Year's Day earthquake, for example.

But the past week has been anything but normal for the Pentagon, with U.S. troops in the Middle East wrestling with the regional fallout from the unfolding Israel-Hamas war and carrying out a U.S. retaliatory strike in Baghdad on Thursday.

The way the Defense Department handled Austin's hospitalization stands in contrast to how the State Department dealt with then-Secretary of State Colin Powell's prostate surgery on Dec. 15, 2003.

The State Department spokesman at that time issued a statement in the morning making public that Powell, a retired four-star general and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was in surgery at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and would remain there for several days before returning home.

It also said Powell would be on a reduced schedule while he recovered from the operation. The State Department's spokesman at the time, Richard Boucher, then offered details on Powell's surgery in his daily briefing.

Boucher, contacted by Reuters on Friday, said the key question regarding public disclosure was whether Austin was under anesthesia or was incapacitated.

'Was there any moment in the process where he could not function as secretary of defense?' he asked. 'If you are up and walking around and have your information and you have your aides in the next room and you can make split-second decisions... then there is probably not a public necessity to disclose.

'The only necessity is if you are going to be conked out,' he added.

I don't give a squirt of piss if he walks out, or carried out.  Fuck him for ruining Americas greatest institutions

He’s just following orders and carrying on the work begun by clinton.

Permanent installation of a face shield...

Heard this as a rumor on the chan several days ago... but you know the chans.
There is another rumor floating around there now, about his boss, not sure about that one.

Secretary of Defense in the Biden Administration.  

All the worst guesses are justified.

This is exactly they type of transparency i was promised when the adults got back in charge.

I’m guessing an abortion.

Average life expectancy for an obese black male is probably a little north of 65.

We will likely not have Justice Thomas around into his octogenarian+ years, like the left got out of the little Jewish woman, for the same reason.

Uncle Xi's fist.

Penis pump?

Transitioning?

The Dildo has been removed from the Sec Def, all is good move along please. Pedo Joe will be along to sniff his hair momentarily.

Sex change?

He’s a POS.  Hope his healing process is painful.
