In the latest exhibit of the lack of values possessed by America’s political elite the news has come out that Vice President Joe Biden’s son was booted out of the U.S. Navy earlier this year for cocaine use. Hunter Biden was discharged back in February according to a story published by the Wall Street Journal. While Navy officials are unable to provide details due to privacy laws, “people familiar with the matter” per the WSJ have confirmed it was for the Bolivian marching power. Interestingly, the son of Joe had only recently joined the Naval reserves and had to obtain a special waiver in order to get in. Looks like he was polishing up his resume for a future political run because after all, America is now a land of dynastic politics.

The Washington Post reports on Biden’s discharge in a piece entitled “Biden’s son discharged from Navy after positive cocaine test”:

Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter was discharged from the Navy Reserve after testing positive for cocaine, a source familiar with the matter confirmed Thursday.

The source spoke anonymously because no permission had been given to speak publicly about a personnel issue.

The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that Biden was discharged earlier this year after failing a drug test in June 2013. A lawyer and former lobbyist, Biden was commissioned as an ensign in the Navy Reserve in 2013. He applied for a commission into the reserve as a public affairs officer at age 42. Because of his age, Biden needed a waiver to apply. The Journal reported he needed a second waiver because of a drug-related charge when he was younger, a request that is not unusual.

“It was the honor of my life to serve in the US Navy, and I deeply regret and am embarrassed that my actions led to my administrative discharge,” Hunter Biden said in a statement. “I respect the Navy’s decision. With the love and support of my family, I’m moving forward.”

Vice President Biden’s office declined to comment.
