Secy Austin’s Blunder Was Arrogance or Stupidity – Either Way, He Needs to Go
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, who presides over 1.4 million U.S. military volunteers, left his Pentagon post without notice or authorization and kept his absence a secret for almost a week. That’s called AWOL, even if you’re in charge.Austin was a four-star general with 41 years of service, including tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. So, there is no question about his character or devotion to the service of his country.
There is, however, now a serious question about his intelligence, integrity, and, most importantly, his judgment. Colleagues describe the veteran as an intensely private person.
Sorry, you give up privacy when you take on an appointed job that’s high up in the chain of presidential succession, leading the men and women volunteers who comprise our national defense.
How’s he going to prosecute the next Bowe Bergdahl who leaves his guard post without notice and his fellow troops vulnerable?
He can’t.
He wouldn’t anyway, because he won’t want to, anymore than his ideological confrere Bathhouse Barry Soetero did. Which, regardless of his presumably honorable service wearing the nation’s military uniform, DOES call his character into question, like it or not. Right along with his (nonexistent) intelligence, integrity, and judgment.
Now that he got caught and caused a serious political uproar, we’re told his unexplained absence involved the discovery, removal of, and complications from prostate cancer. That’s a shame. But it’s an explanation, not an excuse.
No one wants to hear such news. No one wants to get shot at, as Austin was. But he kept his diagnosis, operation, surgical complications, and residence in an Intensive Care Unit a secret, even from his second in command, the president, and those gossipy toads in Congress.
That may be very human. Given his privacy penchant and the sensitivity of such a diagnosis for a man, especially one in a masculine warrior culture, that’s understandable. But it’s also quite unacceptable.
Well yeah, to normal, sane Americans who don’t despise their country and wish to see it weakened and ruined like his putative boss, Pedo Peter, does. So yes, he certainly “needs to go”—but he won’t. The unkindest cut of all is that, in America That Was, a “man” like him would never have been installed in the first damned place.

“So, there is no question about his character or devotion to the service of his country.”
That sentence is pure horseshit. That damn marxist has never spent one minute in service to the country, and his character is on par with Stalin/Hitler/Lenin/Pol Pot.
Perhaps his country is the PRC. Then it might be true.
I have to admit to confusion on the subject of Austin and China. He has made multiple statement/speeches that are supportive of US efforts to make sure the Japanese and Australians are fully engaged / armed to combat the chinese militarily, and it seems he supports the naval movement away from the ME and back to Asian waters.
But I suspect it’s all a head fake.
AWOL seems more appropriate.
And in the wildest and most completely unpredictable of coincidences, the .mil is missing its recruitment goals – largely because White recruitment is way down.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. White men have done the heavy lifting anytime we’ve actually, you know, WON a fucking war.
OH MY GOD, I DIDN’T GENUFLECT TO THE TUSKEEGEE AIRMEN THAT DONE WON WORLD WAR II ALL BY THEYSELVES!!!
Yes, from time to time, there have been minority units that have performed with competence, and occasionally even better than competence. But they are the exception rather than the rule. They have also performed above average in terms of crimes committed while serving. Even the sainted Emmett Till’s “father” was hung in Europe for raping an Italian woman.
Without White men to form the backbone of the military and lead it, we are FUCKED like a two dollar hooker.
