He needs to resign so he can take care of his health! He does not need the stress in his job!

[TheAnticorporatist]

THIS is the problem with the gerontocracy.

[PamelaLawrence-lcuy]

At least he is letting someone know this time .

[Sbxallday]

Damn, this whole administration belongs in a home.

[riza]

Imagine being one of the most important men in the free world and the doctors find it hard to treat you.

[jkmieez]

Seems we have a lot unwell people running country

[rgrn]

He needs to go off on FMLA, prayers for healing however, we need somebody that can actually fill his position while he’s going through all these medical procedures.

😢😢😢 sounds more serious than reported 😮

Did Secretary Austin notify the president?
Obama needs to know these things.

If he has prostate cancer he more than likely had his prostate removed. This is a very serious procedure and often men have to wear diapers for the rest of their life from incontinence. Men please get a PSA blood test once a year because prostate cancer is very serious, and black men in the US have the highest prostate cancer rates and mortality.

So we have a president too feeble minded to face a trial and a defense secretary that can’t stay out of a hospital bed—-sleep well know we are in good hands

[AndyB]

So he alerted his employers like normal responsible people do 👍

[JuanMartinez-knqs]

This is sad. As a retired military field grade officer. This is bad!?!😮

[dubyredburndarling]

Praying for his recovery. My husband went through similar issues and it's extremely painful. 😔🙏❤️

[davidaponte]

Well, I’m sure Raytheon gave him a nice severance.

[mikechandler]

The country has never been more vulnerable in its history than we are today. They are treating the defense department like it’s a Walmart. You don’t get sick leave when your job is to keep the country from being destroyed! If you to sick to do the job, then you honorably step aside and get someone that isn’t!

Prostate issues often affect the bladder because the prostate is located below the bladder. He may have a tumor. Prayers.

[bblanchette]

Praying 🙏🏽 🙏🏽sending prayers and healing ❤️‍🩹

While I wholeheartedly believe that Austin is one of the worst Secretaries of Defense that has ever served, I none the less wish him a full and complete recovery.
