I'm sure Biden was solid as a rock. He's been under fire before.

Obama celebrates July 4th at White House barbecue

With first lady Michelle Obama at his side, Obama spoke from a White House balcony overlooking the South Lawn.

Guests ate traditional July Fourth fare—hot dogs, hamburgers and grilled chicken with potato salad and corn on the cob. Plenty of red, white and blue decorated the South Lawn, from colorful tablecloths to paper lanterns hanging from trees.

According to other comments on the thread, this kind of thing is still fairly routine there. No telling what the military response was. Just because the MSM doesn't report it, doesn't mean it didn't happen.
