The terms of Biden's separation from the Navy were unclear. Typically, military members discharged for failing drug tests don't receive an honorable discharge. Anyone have the details?

Interesting for sure. It's hard to believe there was no political pressure swaying the outcome of this. As a paralegal I have seen firsthand numerous service members court-martialed for one time cocaine use. Never once have I seen the Air Force not administer some form of punitive action prior to initiating discharge.

Horrible message sent with this one.

This says so much about our VP, the President, and the entire administration.

I very highly doubt that the President got involved in this and there is no proof that the VP did either.

Now lets say that you are correct and these people used their power and influence to change military laws and justice. I think this speaks more poorly of the military men and women that allowed them to do this then it does of the people that did. So maybe this says more about the military machine than the administration. I think you may be mad at the wrong people.

My family up and down the line from me do not have these issues. However, the president has admitted to his own drug use and we know the influence parents have on children. This incident with the VP's son only confirms what I already knew. The adjacent associations within the administration are also shown to be in alignment with each other. It is completely in line with expectations is what I am saying.
