Thank you for your service Sec. Austin. I'm sorry you are going through this. I hope you will have a quick and full recovery and feel much better soon.

I'm much more concerned with the safety of our Sec of Defense. We have a lot of enemies. Many of them are in D.C. Sometimes those who are obvious targets require some privacy. This is just a show.

[AlexandraRieloff]

I could care less about his trip to the hospital. He should be fired for expelling personnel for refusing the NEITHER safe nor effective lie they plunged into humanity.

[ThomasLouttit]

Defense Sec. Lloyd Austin also sits on the Board of Raytheon.
Q. Did he inform his bosses at Raytheon that he was going to hospital?

[allknight]

He’s allowed to go
AWOL.. the Civil War is over !

[cynthiamarie]

Medical treatment is NOT going AWOL. Seriously, get a grip. Just shows how desperate putin's party has become.

John Garamendi's words at 6:57 will be remembered through out history. "We are derelict. Not you sir. It is the Congress of the United States and the leadership in this House that is failing to meet the national security needs of this nation." Thank you sir! Truer words were never spoken; especially in these times.

If the president had cancer. Would that take him out of action. And wouldn't we have the right to know it..

[teresaislas]

It doesn't matter what any of you think the majority wants to see accountability

[edcassidy]

All congress's do is the same thing and expect a different result. No matter what congress we ever elected. They choose to keep the promise the framers made to us broken. So the only ones that have the right to life and liberty in our country. Have in fact been the people that work in our government. Elected appointed or otherwise. The rest of us don't.

[eddiewiggins]

So, they are grilling him over his health, but have yet to fund his department the money they need. I think that is so funny, so instead of focusing on what's important they are once again focused on what's not important.

I wish we, as a country, (We the People) would end tyranny after 200+ years. Congress gets two years, and that's it. The Senate gets four years, and that's it. President Eight if he gets reelected. That way, "We the People" stay in Congress. There are enough of us now. So, everyone gets a turn.

General Austin exudes PROVEN Leadership, character, and honor.
He is a proud man and a  proud American. I see him as thoughtful, detailed, and methodical.
Many strong people use focus and privacy while battling serious medical issues.
Low Rent Two Cent Vultures hide well sometimes and are hard for the public to see until their mouths open and the sewage inside is released.
Congress represents the people and serves to inform, investigate, and fashion laws that raise the standard of a more perfect union. As such is the case, human beings and politics reside in these seats.
Without personal deference to respect of the Man in front of you and measuring all the facts on the table; as one challenges and questions authority; service to the public is rudderless.
There is no AWOL no matter how publicly comfortable you appear attacking an honorable man about a serious health episode with boorish questions and crass political opportunism.  The Secretary said that he transferred authority during his health challenges, but, put better practices in place going forward. Vultures won't see his humanity or empathize with his health struggles, they will only see a meal.

Every single congressman and woman believe that they are the smartest person in the room. The public can only be served when Leadership balances and tunes those flux capacitors sitting on their necks.  The righteousness of  a fierce  confrontation has more to do with patience, thoughtfulness, and timing than pure opportunity.
General Lloyd Austin has earned respect and regard.

Austin, as always, tells us scary stories andAustin, as always, tells us scary stories and imaginary threats. Thereby demanding money for the military-industrial complex. imaginary threats. Thereby demanding money for the military-industrial complex.
