The Biden administration waited until Friday to announce that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had been hospitalized on Monday, a delay of several days that alarmed the Pentagon press corps.

Pentagon Press Secretary Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder provided a brief update on Austin in a statement that was released by the Department of Defense (DoD) at around 5 p.m., or the close of business, right as the weekend was getting underway for many in the country.

“On the evening of January 1, Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III was admitted to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for complications following a recent elective medical procedure,” Ryder said.

If our Secretary of Defense has been hospitalized for four days and no one noticed, then maybe we can do away with that position. Or at least the current office holder.

Why was Congress not notified at the very least?

[MPJackal]

Clearly they found he has no spine.

[jimtorr]

A recent medical procedure........was he vaccinated again, and now has complications from that?

[MinorityRepublican]

Everyone in D.C is a Democrat so it was easy for them to be "discreet" about this.

If this was during Trump administration, we'll find out on Twitter one second after the Secretary of Defense was hospitalized.

[McGruff]

Some reporter should ask if the president has ever been hospitalized without us knowing it.

[HIDEK6]

The administration consists solely of a placeholders. Who kid actually calling the shots?

[ifinnegan]

“ administration consists solely of a placeholders”

Yes. Important to understand.

[Secret Agent Man]

More likely given the trans nature of the admin, they found he had no balls.

[Billthedrill]

Well, hell - the safety of the entire Western world depends on the instant availability of...wait, now, who? The guy who gets Christmas cards from the Taliban? I’m turning the sweat pumps off now.

[Nachoman]

Some reporter should ask if the president has ever been hospitalized without us knowing it.

He wouldn't be able to answer the question.

Another example of the “most transparent administration”

I just found out this week that the DOD is down with pushing climate change studies instead of defense of the realm. /spit

“Climate studies” are a symptom of deep mental illness on the part of these public officials.

It is so stupid and so fraudulent that future historians will be laughing hysterically that the Pentagon would spend a dime on this topic.

The money would be better spent on developing defense strategies against Unicorn excrement attacks by potential adversaries.

Colonoscopy with bowel perforation?

[Badboo]

Let’s hope the bitch’s illness is fatal. POS BTW I am not picking on the bitch. All of Trump’s appointees were too.

[Ann Archy]

Clean up your act. Low class comments.

[Dan in Wichita]

The report said Austin underwent an "elective surgery."

Maybe he decided it was time to transgender?

[Badboo]

“Boys, you got to learn not to talk to nuns that way”.

My bad.

[steve in DC]

Gender reassignment surgery.

Collectivists always make the Vital trivial and the Trivial vital because they are unable to deal with the vital.

The signature result of a collectivist government is starvation.
