K9BuckDid you hear Joe Biden's crazy war story?
#1
Biden misrepresented nearly every detail of his involvement in a 2008 war story

Former Vice President Joe Biden, currently leading in the polls for the 2020 Democratic nomination, got almost every detail incorrect in the retelling of his participation in a 2008 war story at a campaign stop, the Washington Post reports.

Why it matters: Biden has drawn criticism in recent months for public gaffes and slips, including mistakenly thinking he was vice president during the 2018 Parkland shooting and mistaking Margaret Thatcher for Theresa May.

Details: Per Biden's recollection, a 4-star general asked him to go to Kunar, a province in Afghanistan, while serving as vice president. The purpose of the trip was to award a Silver Star to a Navy captain who'd rappelled a 60-foot ravine while under fire to retrieve the body of a fallen American comrade.
  • Biden said he'd been told the trip was too dangerous, but stated: "We can lose a vice president,” adding, “We canâ€t lose many more of these kids.”

  • Biden also claimed that the captain was reluctant to take the award, quoting him as saying, "Sir, I donâ€t want the damn thing!" and adding, “Do not pin it on me, Sir! Please, Sir. Do not do that! He died. He died!"
The intrigue: Almost every part of Biden's account appears false. Per interviews conducted by the Post, Biden got the "time period, the location, the heroic act, the type of medal, the military branch and the rank of the recipient wrong, as well as his own role in the ceremony."
  • Biden was actually a U.S. senator at the time, not the vice president.

  • The military member who performed the rescue was an Army specialist, not a Navy captain.

  • Biden never pinned a Silver Star on that service member.

  • The soldier received a Medal of Honor from President Obama 6 years later, which he graciously accepted.
Per the Post, "One element of Bidenâ€s story is rooted in an actual event: The vice president did pin a medal on a heartbroken soldier, Army Staff Sgt. Chad Workman, who didnâ€t believe he deserved the award."

Libs all have war stories.  Seems none of them are true.

I had a notion that Biden could perhaps limit his giraffes a bit and be serious now.  Why is that so hard?  Stay on script.  Tell the truth.  

Is he dopey Joe?  His people KNOW the media will be all over him.  He just has to be semi-reasonable, but he isn't.

Maybe he is just stupid AND arrogant.

I really hope Biden gets the nomination. Trump vs Biden will be very entertaining in the debates. Who will make the most "missrepresentations?"

Biden will not get the nomination, he will however get " Sandered"

Obama has asked him many times to drop out of the race, he won't so they will pull the plug on him one way or the other.

He's the only candidate on either side who can actually make Trump look like the sane one.

Thanks for the details.  The FOX story was poorly written.
