Chalk this up as another story that dumbfounds me, with Joe Biden once again fibbing to a grieving military family about how his son, Beau Biden, died.
As RedState reported, three U.S. Army soldiers were killed in Jordan in late January after an Iranian-backed group attacked it with drones. The deceased have been identified as Sergeant William Rivers, Specialist Breona Moffett, and Specialist Kennedy Sanders. Good Morning America broadcast the call Biden made to the family of Specialist Sanders in which he proceeded to mislead them about his son's death, something he's done in numerous calls to Gold Star families.
Of course Biden called one of the three families who lost their child in the Iran-backed drone attack annnnd he made it all about Beau, claiming he's been in their exact same position.

How many times does this need to be explained to the president? It is tragic when anyone's child dies, and that includes Beau Biden. With that said, there is no comparison between a parent losing a child in combat and having a child pass after a long battle with cancer. When a person goes to sleep one night thinking their child is fine and then wakes up the next morning to find out their child has been brutally killed, that does something different to a person. That is not the type of pain and suffering anyone should compare themselves to unless they've experienced it first-hand.
Joe Biden got to be at his son's bedside. He was able to say his goodbyes and plan for what was coming, both emotionally and practically. The parents of these killed soldiers will never have that opportunity. So no, Biden hasn't "been there," and no, Iraq was not how he lost his son. To this day, there's no actual evidence that burn pits used during the conflict caused Beau Biden to develop cancer. There's not even any evidence Beau Biden had any extensive exposure to them. He died of cancer half a decade after leaving the military.
Still, the president has repeatedly stated as fact that his son "died in Iraq" or some variant of the claim, making it sound as if he were killed in combat. It's gross, and it long ago became stolen valor.
In one disturbing instance, Biden entered the hospital room of a U.S. Marine who survived the Abbey Gate bombing in Kabul and immediately began talking about Beau Biden.

Tyler Vargas-Andrews, a Marine who survived the explosion in Kabul that killed 13 Americans, says that when Joe and Jill Biden came to his hospital room, the president reached out to shake his hand even though his arm was gone, immediately started talking about his son, and… pic.twitter.com/5axewScAPk

I don't know what needs to happen to get Biden to stop doing this, but his handlers need to get a hold of it. It's not acceptable for the President of the United States (or anyone) to continually lie about something like this.
