I apologize, I guess that my wording wasn't very clear the way that I typed it. I was still "quoting" Biden, if you've ever noticed when he does a speech about the military he throws in the line about his son going to Iraq for a year. He did it last week when talking about Afghanistan. It's usually not even relevant the way he does it, but he tries to make himself sound like a hero through his son's service. It's very transparent and self serving, Biden's only connection to the military.
Again, thanks for the kind words, more people should have those sentiments, and I second them.
