No disrespect but the dude might as well be in California. He will not "experience" Iraq like the rest of us.

He's the pogest of fucking pogs. He is a jag officer and probably the last time he fired an m16 was in basic.
If he had to do the shit I had to do over there, there is no way Biden would let him go over there. |

This dude's only sacrifice is he is going to be 6000 miles away. He will never be shot at, he won't EVER have to carry a gun over there. He is probably stationed WELL within the confines of BIAP where NO enemy rockets can reach. That goes for everyone who is a JAG or whatever. It's a good career decision, that is about it, not much sacrifice there. |

Well, so much for supporting the troops...
Pretty easy to criticize a guy for being too far from the front when you're posting from your basement recroom/bunker. (To those that that coment does not apply, that comment does not apply). FOR THE RECORD BEAU IS A DOUCHE IMHO - he's a lobbyist for the credit card companies and helped get the bankruptcy laws changed so people can't get rid of their CC debt. |

Does anybody know what his politics are like?
It would be kinda funny to think a major liberal goes to Iraq, even if it's in the safest place in Iraq, while some guys in this thread who are totally capable of enlisting choose to not be bothered by some silly little "Self sacrifice" That would be kinda funny wouldn't it? |

WTF is wrong with some of you guys?
As a current deployed SM myself I fully acknowledge that the guy running patrols everyday see's a whole different side of the war than the guy who mans the radio in the TOC. But every job is critical, He still volunteered to serve his nation in a time of war. and he's answering that call which is more than can be said of some. If we where to believe some of you guys the whole armed forces should be an 11B or combat arms. The military needs cooks, lawyers, chemical officers, Logistical Officers, and every other Combat Service and Combat Service Support MOS their is. If we didn't have soldiers to fill these positions, than the guy at the point of the spear would never get his bullets, or chow, or have his pay straighened out, or his will taken care of. It may not be a glorious job, but it is critical to the function of the greatest army on earth that we have brave Americans to fill the ranks. He voluntered just like the rest of us. And he didn't chose his Branch, he got to fill out his "wish list" just like any other commisoned officer, but in the end DA and Uncle Sam chose his branch. So lighten up, cut the man some slack, he can't be blamed for his fathers politics. And wether or not you think he deserves it, respect him for the fact that he puts on the uniform, and swore an oath to protect and defend the constitution, and is demostrating his willingness to do so by deploying with his unit to a Combat Zone. |

Beau Biden leaves for Iraq duty The Associated Press Posted : Thursday Nov 20, 2008 10:01:20 EST WILMINGTON, Del. — Delaware National Guard officials say state Attorney General Beau Biden left the U.S. Wednesday for duty in Iraq. Guard spokesman Nathan Bright says Biden’s unit left Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas, and will have a layover in Kuwait to adjust to the climate before traveling to Iraq. Bright says Biden is a prosecutor for the 261st Signal Brigade and its subordinate units, which contain about 1,200 soldiers. The unit is due back in Delaware next September. That's a pretty charitable expression for layover time in Kuwait - I've always considered it sit around in purgatory and hope you can catch the next flight to wherever you're going so you can get the fuck out of Kuwait time. Thank god AP is around to define that time as a healthy climate transition as opposed to the life sucking, frustrating experience that it has a history of being........ |

Much of this thread is an absolute disgrace. We have a volunteer military service and this guy volunteered his time to do what he can to serve us all. He wears the uniform of the United States of America and deserve respect. I have no doubt there are JAG officers on this board and if any of them were treated in this manner, most of you would be calling for a ban.
This is utterly disgusting and unbecoming Americans. |

Well, this guy is a reservist, so he doesn't sacrifice as many as others, but others aren't. Do you know what new lawyers sacrifice pay wise to be JAGs? I want to say initial pay is around 48k. Do you know what a person who makes JAG can make private practice? A lot more than 48k. They aren't always putting their lives on the line (though many are and have), but they choose to do with less so they can serve their country. That deserves respect. And just in case the response is "we don't need lawyers on the battlefield," guess what? General Washington had military lawyers on his staff. They've been a part of war for centuries and represent the fact that we, the West, are better. |
