    While I agree with the sentiment no his cancer is not a “national security issue”. He has a deputy, he has staff. It’s not like the defense department slams to a halt because he went to the hospital.

    Also, as stated by others. Anyone can get cancer. Anyone can develop a sudden infection from surgery. Shit happens

      I find it kind of frustrating that people want Austin held responsible when if he was undergoing surgery and then in ICU he might not have been awake or coherent to get someone else setup. Now, there should be a policy in place that says the minute he went in to ICU second in command should have taken over. I’m also not going to be mad the pentagon didn’t tell the public. That’s a national security issue that our adversaries could try to take advantage of.

      It might shock you how familiar I am with this. I’m not stupid, I’m just a guy on the internet with an opinion based on the fact that this knowledge of his complication didn’t seem to be being passed on to, you know, important people who might need to know this information before he croaks suddenly.

      I’m sorry that I’ve literally seen Senators die in office recently because these chucklefucks refuse to let go of their grip on power. It’s literally an actual issue with our government.
