    The Judge Advocate General's Corp

    He was on the army's LEGAL TEAM, LMAO!!!!

    Biden traveled to Washington, D.C., from Iraq in January 2009 for the presidential inauguration and his father's swearing-in as vice president, then returned to Iraq.

    He also joined the military AT 34???? wtf lol~!

    Yeah, that's the epitome of being groomed for politics. I had a civilian contract job at age 24-25, and when I was 25 one of the army recruiters tried pulling their pitch with me, until they asked my age, then it was clear I was on the older side for recruiting possibility. Her exact words well, "ehhh, you could still do it".

    I was afraid it was some more 'stop the steal' bullshit. Rather than being some qanon nut job, this air force vet was sane. The Iraq war was foolish. Joe Biden doesn't have a good reply for that.

    You’d think everyone who was for it would have a feasible response to that criticism by now. Even if it’s some cookie-cutter response.

      His son wasn't like the guys in the video who saw combat or lost friends, he was on the army legal team.

      And died of a brain tumor long after having served. This response makes it seem like he died in service.

      But we’re also talking about a politician who spent years lying about the death of the wife he was cheating on, in claiming she was killed by a drunk driver. Also destroying the reputation of the truck driver she swerved into during a totally not a suicide attempt.

      The son being used as though he died in war should be the highlight here, not the fact that a vet called them out on being pro war. That probably happens to almost every politician.
