I'd worry a little less if my son (like Biden) was serving as a JAG lawyer. Young Biden isn't out clearing IEDs.
I was going to point that out. Plus Beau was able to pull some temp duty at the Pentagon at the time his dad was inaugarated as VP.
There's danger everywhere in Iraq, but since Joe likes to be the center of everything, he wasn't about to inform the reporter that his son wasn't on front line duty.
Beau is the heir apparent to Joe's Senate's seat in the 2010 election. Ted Kauffman is a placeholder Senator.
