I do not believe that the Secret Service agents are some feelingless, humanless drones without human feelings.
I do believe that they would have had more respect towards Mr. Woods and his son lying in the casket and after hearing what Joe Biden said would have just stood by and watched.
I bet the Secret Service agents after hearing what Joe Biden said privately said " What a a$$hole " and what a disrespectful thing to say to a loved one who's son was laying in a casket who gave his life for this country.... Call it what you may, a momentary lapse in doing their job.
Sorry, but I respectively disagree with you. Of course they're not feeling-less, but Secret Service agents assigned to this sort of duty are willing to "take a bullet" for their charges. I have no doubt that they would have said "what an a$$hole" Biden was after the fact, but I also have no doubt that they would have done their job. They're among the ultimate professionals. I have no doubt they would have protected their charge, no matter what their personal feelings.
