If a soldier went AWOL, he/she would be up on charges.

[dstorm]

Austin should have been fired after the Afghanistan debacle, and also Blinken, Milley, and Sullivan for raw incompetence

[Bill-vown]

One thing after another. When is this CIRCUS 🎪 FREEK SHOW going to END?? WAKE up People.

[barbarasmith]

How in the world did he think he could function without someone knowing what happened. I now wonder if he jumped the gun and left the hospital early, and the procedure got inflected. That was major surgery

[CrabFiles]

I think the General needs a colonoscopy :P

[billm]

WOWW!! I actually agree with a democrat...and I am a retired republican American soldier..

[SDF-River]

Investigation? Really?
Just ask him. It's not like he traveled to Russia without a paper trail. The man went to the hospital for cancer.
Seriously. There's more important things that need to be addressed than why an adult didn't tell another adult they were going to the hospital.

C’mon YT, do better. Free speech is exactly what it is and should be. Stop with the shadow banning of comments. 😂

I love how dRumpf would fart and Dem's would demand 10 investigations. Now we have an admin that is AWOL/out to lunch, and it's just a bunch of angry words. What a clown show

[bill]

I am a VETERAN, and Austin has Soooo Disappointed me! He KNOWS better being a Former High ranking Miltary Man. Jus sayin.

[aleydasosa]

I wonder where he is most of the time. 🤔🤔🤔

[criz]

LEAVE him tf alone man he got prostate cancer bro. Hes going through punishment enough

[susancohen]

I heard that the dems were thinking of Kylie Jenner for a VP choice. She appeals to a huge demographic

[robertgreen]

The incompetence of the Biden administration no longer shocks me.

[Irish]

That’s would be like the accused murderer investigating his own crime

[artnardone]

Messianic sign in back, left eye. Deceptive on flag.

[Wubboxneverdie-ybiw]

Dude goes to the hospital and conservatives try to make a scandal out of it about grasping at straws

[darrylblack]

What, am I missing here? The Man was ill! He went to the Hospital! Got Care! What is the problem with that? This all seems so very petty!!

[davidgarner]

Just wait for it in a couple weeks. He'll be wearing a wig and a dress
