B-Man Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 2nd House Democrat Calls for Biden to Fire Austin. Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., says he would fire Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin if he were President Joe Biden. “I can’t imagine that happening at the lowest levels of the military chain of command. Like where I was as a mere lieutenant platoon commander in Iraq, I can’t even imagine it happening,” Moulton told NewsNation. “This is a breakdown in that chain of command. And the commander in chief needs to make a decision here.” “It’s up to the president as to whether he fires Secretary Austin, but I tell you what, he needs to send a decisive message that this is never gonna happen again,” Moulton added https://www.newsmax.com/politics/moulton-biden-austin/2024/01/12/id/1149419/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I don't know if he "should be fired" But certainly some extended leave or resignation is in order. Lloyd Austin taken to hospital ‘for symptoms suggesting an emergent bladder issue.’ Defense Secretary Austin’s hospital trip “comes a month after he had an extended hospital stay due to complications in treating prostate cancer. The two-week hospitalization in January caused uproar after many officials within the Pentagon, the White House, Congress, and the public were not notified of his hospitalization for days.” https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/defense/2849853/lloyd-austin-hospital-symptoms-suggesting-emergent-bladder-issue/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that's what Tibs will say. Edited February 12 by wnyguy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacka Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 He's in the CCU, was in the ICU. I was in the ICU for several days when I had my stroke. I was not unconscious but had vague memories (like getting a sponge bath) for those days. He is in no shape to run the D0D, much less push a pencil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
