<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nOne of our readers sent us a link to Fox News<\/a>‘ report that the Vice-President’s son, Beau Biden is being treated at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, the world class hospital for the troops. <\/p>\n Our reader asked a very good question; why is Biden being treated there? I can’t find anything that verifies that the former JAG officer and Iraq veteran is still on active duty, or if the Military is bound to give him treatment. I may be wrong about this, but, it seems to me that he should be treated by a VA hospital, or by his private insurance.<\/p>\n I mean, I hope that whatever his problem is can be fixed, and if I am ill, there’s no place I’d rather be treated than Walter Reed, but then, I earned my treatment at that fine medical facility. Biden, however, joined the National Guard in 2003, deployed to Iraq in 2008 and returned in 2009, according to Wiki<\/a>. He returned to his job as the Delaware Attorney General which he finally left last year. I don’t see any further service or any service connected injuries from his deployment that would qualify him for treatment at a Military Treatment Facility. There are a lot of hospitals between Bethesda and Delaware.<\/p>\n In a day and age where this White House, the Pentagon and the Congress are complaining about the cost of treating veterans who earned their benefits to be treated at an MTF, why is the Vice President’s son being treated at the taxpayers’ expense? Clearly, he must have his own private insurance.<\/p>\n Like I said, I don’t wish Biden any ill, and I hope he recovers and if anyone can fix him it’s the fine doctors at the WRNMMC, but I also hope that he isn’t elbowing out any veterans or active duty troops by his presence there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
