Biden’s Son Hunter Discharged From Navy Reserve After Failing Cocaine Test

:lamo

WASHINGTON— >" Vice President Joe Biden ’s son Hunter was discharged from the Navy Reserve this year after testing positive for cocaine, according to people familiar with the matter.

Hunter Biden, a lawyer by training who is now a managing partner at an investment company, had been commissioned as an ensign in the Navy Reserve, a part-time position. But after failing a drug test last year, his brief military career ended.

Mr. Biden, 44 years old, decided to pursue military service relatively late, beginning the direct-commission process to become a public-affairs officer in the Navy Reserve in 2012. Because of his age—43 when he was to be commissioned—he needed a waiver to join the Navy. He received a second Navy waiver because of a drug-related incident when he was a young man, according to people familiar with the matter. Military officials say such drug waivers aren’t uncommon.

Mr. Biden was commissioned as an ensign on May 7, 2013, and assigned to Navy Public Affairs Support Element East in Norfolk, Va., a reserve unit, according to the Navy. In June 2013, after reporting to his unit in Norfolk, he was given a drug test, which turned up positive for cocaine, according to people familiar with the situation. Mr. Biden was discharged in February, the Navy said..."<

Only cocaine? Having Joe Biden as your father would probably justify stuff far harder than some blow.

Like Cyanide!

“I deeply regret ... that my actions led to my administrative discharge,” said Hunter Biden, a reservist.

So? I didn't say it didn't happen. I just find it funny that cocaine abuse is now a big deal when a vice president's SON get's busted doing it but it's not a big deal when a president had done it. Short memories around here...

GW Bush when asked if he had done cocaine...

"when I was young and irresponsible, I was young and irresponsible."​

now... why again should we give a rat's ass about a VP's son getting busted... Especially when we barely give a rat's ass about the VP himself?

Right, I'd be more worried if it was the president having been a cocaine abuser.

I'm in favor of all drug legalization, so use by anyone doesn't bother me. It's JB's hypocrisy that makes this a story.
 
Eh. Drugs in the military is commonplace, especially the addicting and debilitating kind... prescribed by a doctor no less.

Of course, if Joe Biden's son did coke, that means it's all over the White House.

Did the fact that Dick Cheney has a lesbian daughter make you wonder about if Bush was gay?

I wish a Secret Service agent would break the Secret Service code of silence and write a tell all book about the Obama White House.

There is on former SS agent who was on Obama's SS security team, he said he's not going to break the code of silence but said "It's worse than you think."

:thinking John Kerry was a naval officer. You ever noticed that nose on Kerry ? He looks like he could do a 8 ball in one snort.

No it did not, but I have wondered many times if Hillary Clinton was a lesbian.

Maybe, but of course Al Gore's daughters are straight, and since it is, according to your logic, it is the VP's kids that set the whole social environment of the White House, that would be impossible.

What is it with conservatives and how badly they want to be deep into the business of other people's sex lives?

Obama use to brag about his cocaine use.

Now Obama can afford it.

And how many of Obama's guest he had at the White House have bragged about getting loaded in the White House ?

There's even some scuttlebutt that there might be a micro brewery inside the White House.
 
I'm not exactly on Team Obama/Biden...but when did we decide politicians kids (regardless of their age) were fodder? Thats kinda bull****.

When it's liberals it's ok. See also what liberals think when the shoe is on the other foot.

Not one officer in the Navy ever did anything bad before Obama became President. There were also no natural disasters and nobody was gay.
