What's Up With Biden

[Revoltingest]

I would have to assume that anyone that wanted to be Commander in Chief would know that a Captain in the Navy is an O-6, which is equivalent of a Colonel in the Marines, Army, and Air Force..
Then again maybe not.

My gawd, man....who would need to care about that?
It would be like me expecting a President to hold forth
knowledgeably about various gear tooth pressure angles.

If he were going to be in charge of putting together your steam engine it would seem you would want him to have at least some grasp of the concept...

I figure that a President has much to learn on the job anyway.

Who are you talking about?

Biden in his "no-shi**er" story referenced in OP.

The President would be the Commander-in-Chief. In Biden's case he was a Senator for approx 26 years and Vice President for 8 years; one would have to assume that he had numerous contacts with the Officer Corps of the Armed Services. There are approximately 18.2 million veterans and 2 million active duty, and reserve personnel, plus the National Guard. If one his going to tell a story about the military one would expect one to at least have taken the time to know what they are talking about.

I think it would be enuf to know a general from an admiral.

If the man had been a lifer, sure.
But such a detail is insignificant to others.

Only the uniform would be different. Rank insignia are the same.

I disagree.

I still say Biden has lost it.

We can certainly agree that he has his challenges.
Perhaps they thought that if GW Bush can win
elections, they can run their own version....& ramp
up the strange factor.

Tulsi did not drop out. She left the campaign trail for 2 weeks because she deployed to Indonesia.

Thanks for the info. I thought she dropped out after the DNC and media backlash to frame her for having the guts to call a spade a spade.
