My sources tell me that Biden originally thought he had given out the medal during WW I, somewhere in France. Fortunately for Biden, his handlers were able to convince him otherwise.
What was a the scene in Patton when he tells Bradley that if he were promoted to Admiral in the Turkish Navy his aides would no doubt be able to retrieve the appropriate insignia from their bags and pin them on? I bet Biden’s aides had a carton of Silver Stars to hand out.
