From what I understand, the guy was in an ICU. Most folks who are that sick generally can’t make coherent phone calls. That Biden didn’t know is more on his staff and the military not communicating. Secdef has security people. They knew he was in the hospital and where. That Biden didn’t know is hardly surprising given his dementia he could well have been told and just not remembered it.

While I have my issues about Biden’s policy, this is pretty much a nonissue as far as Austin not notifying. That his department didn’t notify others who had need to know is a sign of poor management, but not a sign of him being an issue per se.

In respect, I was referring to his earned rank before he retired. He's still a general despite his current position. Similarly people who were once judges are still called judge, etc. There are many examples of this.

You can address me as Sergeant from now on.

What a stupid thing to claim, he retired as a 4-star General.
