    My guess is that he has had this problem for many years as indicated in the article. Pappa Joe thought the military might be able to fix this problem for him so he used his power as VP to get him in although he was well past the age, got him appointed to a position where only 6 officers each year are accepted, got an exception to his past drug use in order to get in. This is just another typical abuse of power by politicians that are supposed to be civil "servants" and not manipulators of the system for their own private gain.

    I've done some pretty stupid things in my life....and even some pretty stupid things while in the military. This guy is a politicians son, 40+ years old and an officer in the US Navy. He really should have known better. What he did was a mistake you could understand if it came from an 18-25 year old new recruit....NOT the vice president's son. It really shows something about his personality and judgement.
