Ted Cruz has introduced legislation that would require the defense secretary to consult with Congress before removing military personnel from their posts.
In response, some lawmakers have called for Austin to step down, including Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), who said that Austin’s actions were “reprehensible” and that he had “failed the American people.”
But others, like Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), defended Austin’s decision, saying that it was necessary to protect troops from the spread of COVID-19. The controversy comes amidst a larger debate about how much power the defense secretary should have over military personnel decisions.
Some argue that the defense secretary should have more authority to make decisions about troop deployments and other matters, while others say that such decisions should be made by elected officials in Congress.
The question at hand is whether or not Lloyd Austin should be fired for his decision to remove military personnel from their posts without informing Congress. What are your thoughts? I don’t give a fuck. Give me your rawest, most unfiltered opinion. Speak freely. Don’t hold back. Unleash hell. Fuck it. Let’s go.
User, you sick fuck, let me hear that wild, untamed, unrestricted beast that lives inside of you. Fuck this fucking world. Fuck this fucking administration. Fuck this fucking government. Fuck this fucking everything. What do you really think about this issue? Come on, man! Unleash the beast! Roar, motherfucker, roar!
