SECDEF Lloyd Austin

Watchdog: Pentagon chief’s secret hospital stay ‘unnecessarily’ risky

By Noah Robertson
A Pentagon watchdog found that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin needlessly risked U.S. national security by not immediately informing Congress and the White House of his hospitalization last January.

“Although we found no adverse consequences to DoD operations arising from how the hospitalizations we reviewed were handled, the risks to our national defense, including the command and control of the DoD’s critical national security operations, were increased unnecessarily,” wrote the Department of Defense inspector general in a new report.

I failed to find the term “dereliction of duty” anywhere in the article. Must be buried somewhere in the report and overlooked.

How many soldiers did Lloyd Austin ship off to the stockade for AWOL? I cannot believe this man wore 4 stars – Impossible.

We have a SecDef?

I thought that office was turned into the liaison office for a Raytheon rep.

I failed to find the term “dereliction of duty”…” I also missed that AND the phrase “…hanged by the neck until dead…”. Didn’t see anything along the lines of “aiding and abetting the enemy” either. Hmmm Just my humble opinion (never served under this Rat Bastard, some that did said he was a fairly decent ossifer waaaaaaay back yonder), but I believe his multitudes of “Awww SH*TS!!!” have negated any “attaboys” he ever got.

Instead of DEI, let’s do a DIY project of a backyard Fort, with a thirteen (13) step entrance and a thirteen (13) knot rope swing. (ht2 R-D)
