    Is that what you might call special privilege? Every time the government wants to do cultural or social engineering the military is the first place they try it out on. If your saying that the military is still talking that way to each other then they need to have a re-do on "sensitivity training" . We cannot allow people to joke around like that, after all, we have lifted the ban on gays and snowflakes and they are not to be offended.

    Pretty sure Biden was talking to a group of Generals and Admirals.

    Biden was morning the military when he uttered and never served getting draft decrements. He just likes to pretend he's tough like someone who served.

    As the famous movie line went, "Nobody's perfect"

    Also, why would you issue an apology for trying (and perhaps failing) to be funny?

    No it's not special privilege, you would be hard pressed to get ANYBODY in trouble in the military for jokingly calling you a stupid bastard in jest. Just because stuff is technically Article 15 material doesn't mean it's enforced. As I said go hang around a military unit for about 5 mins and most folks would be horrified at the way they interact with each other. The Air Force is the more "corporate" based branch of service so they are likely more tame and "professional" but the Army? Yeah right. This sort of thing is so common that it wouldn't even be a blip on the radar.

    He should have done a Johnny Carson reaction to one of his dud jokes.

    I think he's just the type of guy who tries too hard to "connect" with his audience and doesn't realize that he puts his foot in his mouth when he does stuff like that. He did the same thing with his infamous "You ain't black" statement while trying to be funny and "connect" with the younger black audience on that podcast. He would never fake a "black accent" and say something like that to his older black audience because they don't tend to speak like that.

    This isn't as big of a deal as folks are making it seem. This is the same cringe level nonsense that the Left is so famous for. Take a completely non-issue thing and blow it way out of proportion because an election is coming up and we have to make the other side look bad in any ridiculous way we can and then feign outrage. The most common response I've heard from Army guys around me who saw this clip is "LOL! Yeah the Air Force are stupid bastards" not "OMG how dare he disrespect service members like that!". And Biden is by no means a popular person in my neck of the woods...

    Biden and company have a multitude of issues that are worthy of attacks, but this is seriously not one of them. This is the fake outrage nonsense that the Left pulls every 45 mins. Lets not be like the Left.

    I'm a veteran. Hanging around the bar or with friends is a lot different than addressing a room full officers for a formal speech.

    While you are correct, the bigger issue to me is the double standards this exposes, just Imagine if Trump said this, the reaction...

    What is even worse is the defense from the people on this forum of Joe. If you called any of them "stupid bastards" they would be sending your name to the moderator so fast and feign "hurt feelings".

    Yeah the next time we have a formal meeting at work I'll make sure to tell the Officers to stop using the F word as a adjective and to put their dip bottles down when addressing the room.

    Was Bidens joke "inappropriate"? Sure. Is giving a formal war briefing addressing a room full of senior enlisted and officers laced with profanity with a wad of dip in your lip and a spit bottle in your hand "inappropriate"? Sure.

    Are either of those things a big enough deal to make anybody actually care? No, not in my line of work anyway. Perhaps the other branches are a bit more "professional" than we are lol.

    Trump doesn't have this kind of sense of humor, so we can't imagine him saying it. I've heard a few jokes from Trump. Three or four. One a year. He's not one to joke. Biden isn't either. There's no double standard.

    Exactly, which is what I said in my original post about this. If Trump said this and it was on video then you would have every news outlet in the country with their hand selected "experts" explaining how this is definitive proof that Trump hates the troops as he directly called them names. CNN would be calling every veteran they can find begging them to come on Don Lemons show to explain how personally offended they were by this.

    This doesn't even expose anything regarding double standards. The media is 100% biased as all hell against Trump and there is no objective way anybody can argue against that. This is standard practice for the media nowadays, I doubt anybody was "surprised" that CNN's front page didn't have this on it and those who want to pretend that the media isn't biased will simply say "We all know Biden was joking thats why it's not news". Yet if it were Trump the very same people would be saying SEEE!!! We told you!!!

    Gotta love them.

    And the "I was only joking" would not work.

    What's funny is imagining Donald Trump telling a joke. The things the media is all over aren't jokes.

    "I don't kid."

    When I asked one poster a few years ago if her Avatar was a clown because it reminded me of an ex girlfriend I got one and instead of telling another poster his post was a lie I tried to be diplomatic and used the term forked tongue and picked up another one. So joking wouldn't work. Lol

    Yeah, I hear ya. When the UCMJ replaced Rocks and Shoals things started to go down hill. Would have busted his face in the old days for showing disrespect.

    Guess you have never been to a Trump rally. He is one funny guy. Democrats and the culture police have killed the comedian so when he talks and pokes fun at them the left and media go nuts. "What did he say"? "That wasn't funny, he hurt my feelings"

    I've very often noticed that those on the right are not adept at picking up on nuance. This is also evident in analogies they construct which are more often that not, totally off the mark and unrelated.
