This story is beyond bizarre. WTF? Have you ever heard of a cabinet member not disclosing a hospitalization/health issue for 4 days?

Yes

Apparently no one in the White House knew which is rather difficult to fathom.

Have you ever heard an ex-president arguing in court for the right to murder his political enemies?

I know, not as crazy as a sick guy going to the hospital, but still…,

Usually it's the president talking about how he had the best covid you've ever seen.

But seriously, this feels like ground for immediate dismissal.

I could say something snarky about how Tunerville didn't think the military needed generals or admirals, so what is the big deal about Austin?

But, no, Austin messed up badly.

Because Biden can have Austin killed because he’s president and it’s ok per the constitution. Hope he doesn’t but legally, he can

That rarely happens at that level. If Biden is happy with Austin in general, then it will be a butt chewing and a clarification of protocols and expectations. If Biden has been pondering a change anyway, this is a ready made reason to do it now.

Or Austin can resign.

I think he'll resign. I was just curious about your take.

Just a distraction from real issues. Get everyone outraged so they ignore the real problem.

The ex-president argued in court TODAY that the president has the right to murder his political enemies.

But you are outraged by a mistake from the Defense Secretary. Hmmm.

Did I state I was outraged? We all know that everything that has happened under this administration is Trump's fault. If he didn't exist this would be a flawless 3 yrs.

There are two regional conflicts with global implications. Big lib here, but your DoD secretary going MIA for 3 days is a problem for the administration, and it's a problem of transparency for the American people

This really isn't a partisan issue. And he was never MIA, he was at Walter Reed, a military facility.

Some protocol issues need to be revised. There are way bigger fish to fry than this. Really not that big of a deal.

This sort of thing is never a "big deal". Until it is.

Austin should be dismissed or resign.

The 91 felony Criminal Defendant should never be allowed to hold public office again.

Both can be true.

Unbeknownst to the President and his aides. So MIA or AWOL, whichever you prefer.Not a partisan issue, but a very big deal.
