Will the head of the Pentagon be fired?

According to the online economy report, quoted by Fars, an official in the White House announced that US President Joe Biden has no intention of removing Defense Minister Lloyd Austin from his post.

“I don’t know if Lloyd Austin was conscious when he was in the hospital or not,” he said in an interview with Reuters news agency.

US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in a statement that he takes “full responsibility” for the secrecy of his week-long hospitalization.

Austin, 70, was admitted to Walter Reed Military Hospital near Washington on New Year’s Day for what the Pentagon did not say was a fact the Defense Department kept secret for five days, according to Reuters.

This is all the more important because Austin is just one rung below Joe Biden at the top of the chain of command of the US military, and his main job is to be available at any moment for any kind of national security crisis. Respond immediately.

It is still unclear to what extent his duties were delegated to his deputy Kathleen Hicks during his hospitalization, or whether Austin was involved in key decisions of the country during his absence due to his hospitalization. no

The Pentagon has not yet released details about why Austin was treated, when he lost consciousness last week, or when he was released from the hospital.

Now, after Austin’s action has been criticized by many lawmakers and political officials, he said in a written statement: “I agree that I could have done a better job to ensure that the public was better informed.”
