This might be a great story to read if we had access to it.

How well I remember the movie "To Hell and Back."

For the life of me I cannot remember the actors who played Joe Biden and Brian Williams who must have been there.

Hillary had a problem with her memory, she just could not remember things, especially when under oath.

Joe also has memory problems where he remembers a lot of things but only some of them are true. May need a new pseudo medical term for Joe, the Biden Scrambled Synaptic Syndrome (BS ... S ... S)!

Mouldy Joe was at the battle of Thermopylae too. And a young brave Spartan.... Well you know the rest.

“My word as a Biden.”

Worthless as a turd in a punch bowl.

The story in the WaPo is just another apology for Biden’s gaffes. It is a “Trump did it too” story. According to the article President Trump has told 12,000 false or misleading statement during his term. Think about that for a minute. 12,000 in three years is 11 to 12 per day! Talk about lying POS, WaPo and CNN take the prize.

“I bet Biden’s aides had a carton of Silver Stars to hand out.”

Didn’t the powers that be afforded LBJ the same sort of treatment during World War II? IIRC, it was some perfectly safe (and useless) mission that he flew on and he ended up earning a Silver Star for it.

What is the difference between a ‘sea story’ and a fairly tale? Fairly tale begin ‘once upon a time’ and sea story begins ‘this aint no sh*t’.

Biden is a joke-always has been and always will be.

He is just a place holder until the convention where they will be unable to get a candidate so they will draft the First Transsexual Mr. Michelle Obama.

Brian Williams witnessed the whole thing.

I thought Brian Williams was actually with the Navy Captain bringing the body up. He was providing covering fire while hanging on the rope. He killed 5, uh.. 17 ISIS fighters including Osama Bin Lauden (sp). He was wounded 3 times but was able to heal himself immediately with little aftereffects other than extreme stupidity.

Also doesn’t the commanding officer have to nominate the soldier for a silver/bronze star, then it gets reviewed, ordered, before the soldier actually gets the award?

He’s from Delaware .
There’s a famous painting of Washington crossing the Delaware.
Maybe he can work with that.

Omg doesn’t anyone check over his speeches before he talks?

Perhaps it is just as well that we see him for how he is when he speaks ‘impromptu’.

Either way, he just sealed his fate.

No. If you read the whole story, it is a whitewash, excusing Biden for misremembering "details" while the tearjerker value is preserved. It is intending to tell you that Biden may have a bad memory but he really is a great guy.
