One wrinkle in this scenario: If Beau Biden serves in a “hot” location as opposed to serving as a JAG-type in the rear, he could return home with a realistic understanding of what freedom means and costs. Such an understanding would be more accurate than that held by his “living-constitution” father. Of course, there is little chance of such an assignment, being the VP’s son.
In any event, if he gets out and about, he may have an opportunity to see up close what it looks like to have been an oppressed populace for decades or centuries.

STAND UP AMERICA! The presidential election is not over!
We voted for electors, not the individual candidates. The electors vote on or after December 15, 2009. The results are then presented to a joint session of Congress and objections may be heard on January 8, 2009. See the letter on my About page hand-delivered to the local offices of my Republican Senators and Representatives. I urge you to take similar action, even if it is simply faxing a one page letter to Washington, D.C.
Yea, but the American people never understood all of this, no matter how many times it was taught to them.
He is not serving anywhere hot, except perhaps after hours in the coed showers. The Republican party has two years to find somebody with a plausible chance to defeat this guy.
