Another one sorry about Biden dropping out of the race

[jillan]

This country doesn't have a draft. The freedom not to volunteer extends president's children too. And I don't want to suggest that politically ambitious parents should push their offspring to serve. That said, presidents and potential presidents are free to encourage or discourage their children to do a little heavy lifting along with ordinary Americans once in a while. And to me this is one way to assess character. For instance, Joe Biden, who opposes the war in Iraq, has a son serving in the military who is about to be deployed to Iraq. This tells me a lot about the Biden home: service trumps entitlement. (Too bad Biden dropped out of the race!)
