Yeah, and that's interesting too.I'm talking about Hunter, not Beau, you absolute dolt. You can tell because I wrote, "Hunter got a direct appointment..."
Biden's application for a position in the U.S. Navy Reserve was approved in May 2013.[110] At age 43, Biden was accepted as part of a program that allows a limited number of applicants with desirable skills to receive commissions and serve in staff positions.[111] Biden received an age-related waiver and a waiver due to a past drug-related incident; he was sworn in as a direct commission officer.[110] Joe Biden administered his commissioning oath in a White House ceremony.[6]
The following month, Biden tested positive for cocaine during a urinalysis test and was subsequently discharged administratively.[112][113] Biden attributed the result to smoking cigarettes he had accepted from other smokers, claiming the cigarettes were laced with cocaine.[6] He chose not to appeal the matter as it was unlikely that the panel would believe his explanation given his history with drugs[114][115] and also due to the likelihood of news leaking to the press; it was ultimately revealed to The Wall Street Journal by a Navy official who provided the information.[6][110]
