I have a stumper for ya.

Before I continue:

I would like to take this moment and thank Beau Biden for his voluntary service in the United States Army;

and I want to comment Beau for his courageous fight against brain cancer (glioblastoma).

We know that Beau received a Bronze Star, a Legion of Merit, and a Delaware Conspicuous Service Cross.

At the moment, I cannot find the story as to WHY any of these awards were presented to him.

Also, the Bronze Star has 3 types:

• Achievement
• Merit
• Valor

- No one knows which distinction Beau Biden was given.

Beau was a JAG Officer (Military Attorney).

What kind of combat heroics do you think Beau executed?
(Trial Counselor/Prosecutor)

Better yet!

Beau deployed right before the 2008 Presidential election, & returned almost a year into Dad’s 1st VP campaign.

All of Beau’s prestigious military awards were ordered and presented while Joe Biden was VP; two presented posthumously in 2015 (died 2015).

Joe says Beau was awarded all 3 for heroism in service.

Anyone know any JAG Officers awarded for heroism in combat?

I also have my concerns with this:

Why is a Judge Advocate General Army National Guard Captain anywhere near a burn pit/site?
(Especially the VP’s son.)
(Did Elvis Presley see combat?)

.... Come On, Man!

This article describes what was most likely occurring around the 261st Signal Brigade during Task Force Diamond.

https://www.doverpost.com/article/20090512/NEWS/305129984">https://www.doverpost.com/article/2...

Here is an article that depicts the general overall mission of the 261st.

https://whyy.org/articles/back-from-iraq/">https://whyy.org/articles/...

-> Camp Victory, where the 261st operated, was approximately 60 acres (45 ⅓ football fields).

-> Camp Victory was a section of Victory Base Command (VBC).

-> VBC was Saddam’s hunting retreat and resort.

-> VBC was closed and given back to Iraq (2011).

There’s always risk in Theatre, but do you think the USSS would allow anything to happen to the VP?

(BTW, in Iraq - men held hands as a sign of true friendship. It shows how comfortable you are with, and your respect for - that person. It is very polite.)

Camp Victory 07/04/09

Did Beau Biden earn his combat medals, or was he gifted ‘em?

The 261st was also awarded an MUC by DoD (Robert Gates?).

I hate using Wikipedia, but it’s loaded.

Robert Gates is a complete RED FLAG https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚩" title="Dreieckige Fahne an einem Pfosten" aria-label="Emoji: Dreieckige Fahne an einem Pfosten">
