GOP Outraged over Defense Secretary’s ‘Secret’ Hospitalization: ‘Inexcusable and Dangerous’
Breitbart ^ | 01/07/2024 | Joshua Klein

Posted on 01/07/2024 8:44:13 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Republican officials are expressing outrage over the Biden administration’s Department of Defense “lack of transparency” after the revelation it hid the fact Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was hospitalized for days, raising serious queries about the maintenance of security during that period.

According to GOP members, the Pentagon’s Friday evening announcement that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, 70, was admitted to the intensive care unit four days prior — on New Year’s Day — suggested a violation of the public’s right to information.

How long did it take for somebody at the Pentagon to miss him?

Remember when Pete Buttgig(sp) was on paternity leave for a couple months, before any public announcement of that was made? There are things that these people don’t want us in the general public to know about.

The beauty of the “Biden” administration is that there’s no need to throw anyone under the bus because all the publicly identified members have no power and can be absent, or even die, without the machine skipping a beat.

Frankly, the armed forces are better off with Lloyd out of commission.
He probably had an angiogram given his age, weight and race.
He should retire but his replacement would most likely be worse.

The Joe Stolen/”Que mala” Harris regime likely did not even KNOW the Secretary of Defense was hospitalized, as it is a hallmark of the present occupants of Oval Office to be totally uninformed about just about everything.

Insofar as it impacted the readiness of combat strategies, it made not whit of difference, as there probably are no “Order of battle” scenarios even drawn up, whether Lloyd Austin is on the job or not.

“How long did it take for somebody at the Pentagon to miss him?”

People at that level set policy. They don’t, or shouldn’t, be actually running anything. Their job is to set policy and go to political bat for the tools and money needed to implement that policy. They provide or argue for the infrastructure necessary for their employees to do the employee’s job of turning policy into reality. If he were to drop dead (not a threat) there should be zero impact for not replacing him for at least a year.

Was he having, paraphrasing Rush Limbaugh, a “Lose-A-Dicktomy”??

Did Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin have his penis whacked off so he could pretend he was a woman?

The Wilson/Davis memo tells you how the Pentagon really works:

https://www.congress.gov/117/meeting/house/114761/documents/HHRG-117-IG05-20220517-SD001.pdf

Most folks in the Pentagon are not “in the loop” on special access programs and the Secretary of Defense is one of those in many cases.

It would just be another Obama lackey that replaces him. Biden isn't running anything, and this is the proof.

Doubtful. He’s in one of the special protected classes of people.

As we know, all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others...

He’s old, overweight and black. I’m guessing it’s one or more of the trifecta of hypertension, diabetes and/or heart disease.

I believe he was hospitalized in order to have a deeply lodged sex toy removed from his colon. Prove me wrong.
