SECDEF contradicted himself saying at one time that he transfers responsibility when he does not have access to secure communication, and another that he always has access.
President Trump is the only President in US history to have 7 year Coup against him. Trump still not backing down! 🇺🇸☮️
Many answers from him were less than complete. Avoided some answers. These people are just doing their job asking these questions . I thank them for that.
How is this not degrading?!?!!! Infinite respect for you sir, I remember you in Afghanistan 03-04.
This story doesn't really add up.
Anyone else in the military would be UCMJ’d too the max for a fraction of this stunt. He should resign or be fired.
At least he protected the troops not like Obama and Hillary that left our troops behind to die
A liar
How do you think Donald Trump will prove that he is the best dictator of them all?
I feel bad that he had to disclose this. Talk about being disrepectful. 😒
My father was a soldier in Barbados regiment under British Commonwealth! Where is the General? 😮
😆..
WHEN WAS THE USA ARMY IN DANGER WHEN SECRETARY GENERAL JUST GOT DIAGNOSED WITH PROSTATE CANCER. WHERE IS THE GENERAL IN CHARGE?
I hope he gets well after treatment for prostate cancer. THE WOMAN😡 ASKING QUESTIONS TO SECRETARY OF DEFENCE MR. AUSTIN to me disrespectful. 😮
Who really cares?
Total clown
All he does is read a script.
When and if a person is in the hospital all party members should be alerted as soon as possible no less this way everyone will know and be able to act accordingly🤔🙏
