Secretary of Defense Austin spent four days in the ICU without notifying his number two leading to a situation in which she was performing her duties over Zoom from her vacation in Puerto Rico.
The Marine Corps seemed to have it somewhat more together, but the timing is still strange.
Marine Corps Commandant Gen. Eric Smith on Monday underwent open heart surgery to repair a defect valve that caused his heart attack in late October, the Marine Corps announced.
Smith had successful surgery at an unnamed hospital “to repair a bicuspid aortic valve in his heart, which was the cause of his cardiac arrest on Oct. 29,” according to a Marine Corps statement.
The Marine Corps Commandant has a cardiac arrest on Oct 29 and goes in for surgery now. The Secretary of Defense went in for a procedure on Dec 28th and then ended up in the ICU on Jan 1st.
Medical emergencies do happen, but it’s starting to feel like the brass is not there. I noted that secretaries of defense used to be in their forties, Austin is seventy. Smith is only pushing 60. But it still feels like we have a leadership that is out of it in more ways than one. Our enemies and our allies are looking at this display and they’re not impressed.
We’re facing military conflicts and our Secretary of Defense is in the ICU while the Marine Corps Commandant is in rehab.
Those are far from our biggest problems with the military, but they’re also far from a show of strength.
The West are a parody of the USSR geriatric leaders
One consolation. You can bet all of these military “leaders” have been vaxxed and boosted multiple times.
So there’s that.
Maybe not. Even they have a self-preservation instinct.
Near the end of the Soviet Union it was the same for them.
Thankfully we are not being led by a geriatric class.
Alzheimer Joe. Good God. And it took most Americans three years to notice.
“You know, we have to come together and that is why I am running as a proud Democrat for the Senate.”
That was day one of his basement campaign and we all know he wasn’t really elected but we let this farce go on.
Trannies in kindergartens and Groid Austin as Secretary of Defense? America is an insane asylum.
Am I allowed to wonder if Austin was even in the hospital? HIPAA rules conveniently make that an inconvenient question.
Gee, this couldn’t lead one to question whether Austin is not actually functioning as the SecDef and is just a placeholder public face for the Pentagon, could it?
Obviously, he is not really in command of anything as his absence did not matter. As with the presidency, it leads back to the question of who is in charge. After a false election, whoever it is ain’t tellin’
Many people must know because generals took orders from someone and the White House issues statements and policies that come from some email address or phone number. But they’re not telling us suckers out here.We just pay their bills.
Btw, Did the obama guys ever leave town?
We have more to fear when these types are on the job.
It’s bad enough with the old MEN , but when the OLD MEN dress like WOMEN it’s worse!!
A little strange. Having been in the ICU, I can understand that was furthest from his mind. But what’s hard to understand is that noone in his office noticed he was gone.
The ICU? I hope you’re OK. I worked in six different hospitals and ICUs are no joke.
