On point; Biden constantly uses Beau, who was a noncombatant lawyer reservist and died 15 years of brain cancer after returning home from a one year tour as JAG in Iraq. Biden himself had six draft deferments for school and marriage during the Vietnam War, he never served. No, Mr. Biden, you are NOT a Gold Star father, nor anywhere near one.

I don’t think military service is an issue. Obama, Trump and Biden - none of them served in the military.

He invoked Beau’s death during one of the debates when talking about Covid-19. WFT? Does not compute.

He’s not any good at playing at being president either.

Didn’t say it was so calm down; I criticized Biden for conveying that he is a Gold Star father. Gold Star families are those who lost a son, daughter, brother, husband or wife in combat. Biden’s son was not in combat, wasn’t killed in a war, and Biden himself never served, in fact actively avoided it. So what possible connection does he have to the Gold Star families and why does he brazenly lie that he does? What could be more clear than that?

“I don’t think military service is an issue.”

Correct, losing a son or daughter while they are serving in the military is the issue. Biden didn’t.

Biden did the same thing after his wife died in that car crash..its how he was able to continue to win his senate seat “My dead wife, my dead wife” its a pattern with him..its his way of saying “You cant touch me since I have a dead wife and a dead child”

I really like McGurn. He’s a regular on Wall Street Journal Edition on FNC and I occasionally see him on other FNC shows.

Very true; and he blamed the truck driver who was hit by his wife for the accident (he was adjudged not at fault, his wife was) and repeatedly claimed the truck driver had been drinking (blood test was 0.0). He is a constant liar and tries to play on the emotions of others by lying constantly about his family. A first class, low class bum and election thief.

Liberals and their war records! I do declare!

- Al Gore cuts his finger changing a typewriter ribbon in Vietnam
- John Kerry invoking fond memories of Vietnam (I heard he served there) when in Louisiana
- Bill Clinton at Oxford, not inhaling
- Hillary Clinton under mortal rocket attack
- Obama at a 'sroom fest
- Biden riding on his JAG son's coat tails

They are turning on the man they all counted on to get Trump out of the White House ! Did they ever consider that he could turn their pet project, Afghanistan, into a flaming disaster ? No. Trump hate trumped everything else.

And remember when then-President Nixon sent him on a secret mission in Cambodia in Christmas of 1968. It was seared, seared into his memory.

John Kerry did nick himself with a razor for which he was awarded a Purple Heart.

What does a military lawyer do in Iraq?

I just LOVE how he can bring up Beau at the drop of a hat, but we are not allowed to talk about Hunter.
