Biden’s Son Hunter Discharged From Navy Reserve After Failing Cocaine Test
Lawyer Pursued Military Service as a Public-Affairs Officer

At least he didn't sound like a spoiled brat about it.

No whine.

I hope people dont judge my Father by my actions...

I agree Hallmark.
BTW, on the cocaine subject, I went to see "The Judge" a few days back and it was a magnificent film. Robert Downey Jr, who used to be a supreme coke head, seems to have straightened out his life. He was almost up to Robert Duvall's skill in the movie but not quite.
Then again very few people are anywhere even close to Robert Duvall in talent.

People often do. Although its not entirely fair because you can raise your children the best you can and they have a mind of their own.

It is however embarrassing for biden I am sure because he is the vice president, so he and his family are in the spot light. Think Sarah Palins children getting bashed by the media and left..

Biden will NEVER get bashed like Palin did because the Dems control the media....

What crock of shit. He should not be give a honorable discharge. That should be illegal what they are doing. All honorable discharged people should sue.

Just look at the party in charge and it's obvious that the decision is political.....

Like some have said repeatedly.....New week....new scandal!....Most if not all former presidents would have been impeached for even half of this crap...

I hope all of the others kicked out with anything other than honorable for drug offenses bring lawsuits against the govt and especially the ONE person that authorized it to be honorable.. At least it's NOT a medical with 100% disability..

You can get a "Other than Honourable" or "General discharge changed to Honourable if you stay straight for a few months after you get out.

WHAT?

Show me proof of that.

It's not automatic, but since it was a one-time thing, it may be allowed under the Inequitable clause.

It takes more than a few months and you have to jump though a lot of hoops. But it can be done. I have a good friend who got his changed.

Well....it was just given to him and for his infraction a less than honorable discharge should have been given....Sure this isn't the first incident of favoritism to be given...

Siblings of Political figures are treated differently from the average "Joe" in the military. The fact that they did anything at all is amazing.

My first reaction exactly..... surprised that this made it to the light of day in the first place....

I was talking to a Yeoman in his office one day and he had a personnel folder laying on his desk. It had P.I. stamped on it in big red letters I asked him what that meant. He said it was to inform any officer reading it that right up front he was dealing with "Political Influence"....
