The Pentagon said Lloyd Austin’s superiors in the White House were told of his hospitalization, as were those under his direct command.

Former President Donald Trump blamed the attack on Biden and asked for prayers for the families of those who were killed.

"This is a time of immense global instability. Our country deserves reliable leadership at the Department."

"And exactly 0 journalists will hold the Biden administration accountable for the dereliction of duty," one social media user wrote.

Last week, Pentagon officials had said the secretary of defense underwent an "elective medical procedure," according to The New York Times.

Austin was admitted to a Washington-area hospital Monday and reportedly ended up in the intensive care unit for several days.

Hiding the fact that the Secretary of Defense is in the hospital raises a lot of questions, the foremost being, "Why?"

“So we have a wide range of panelists here to cover the kind of breadth that might involve a super soldier."

A photo of the aircraft showed three distinct stripes of a shiny coating on both the inside and outside of its tail wings.

The Department of Defense on Saturday said a drone that struck a tanker off the coast of India was fired from Iran.
