Joe Biden has been a U.S. Senator for 35 years and his sone is a lobbyist in D.C.

Biden also has a son in the military, a lawyer in the JAG. What is the role of the JAG corps in the war in Iraq? Did we have lawyers watching our troops in WW2, Korea or VietNam?

To be fair to the JAG core, most of them are there to handle the normal stuff people need lawyers for on behalf of the service members. Divorces, contracts, petty crimes, etc. There are some bad apples trying to make names for themselves - usually under the command of bad apples doing likewise - but by far most JAG attorneys “get it” and are honorable people firmly on our side.

While the JAG plays a role in the military which is essential, their role in a combat region is questionable. Thanks for your information on this. When I heard that Biden had a son in IRAQ, I gave him the benefit of the doubt that it was a combat role.

To second guess troops in battle. To ensure their punishment when they don't play by the Marquis of Queensbury's rules with the terrorists. To make them scared to engage and destroy the enemy for fear of legal reprisals for their actionas under fire.

You just know that he wants to make a legal name for himself as the prosecutor in a atrocity trial whether or not any atrocity occurred.
