The context can be found around the 1:00 mark. And, not to come to his defense, but what he is saying does make sense. He’s talking about assisting veterans in connecting them with jobs. He uses as examples, a retired quartermaster should be able to manage a women’s clothing department. Or a veteran who was responsible for tanks should be able to handle a position in a distribution center for FedEx. After watching a significant portion of the meeting, I get the sense that Biden could be more formidable in the debates than the excerpt would indicate.

I knew there was context that makes this clip a lot less damaging. I guess I was smart to question it.
