Josh,

We have not been asked, but so you know:

1. The writer is correct that Guardsmen/women are not eligible for
treatment at Walter Reed. Beau is there as a designee of the SecNavy. As
has been done many times in the past -- and twice in this admin, once for
mom-mom and once for POTUS' mother-in-law -- Walter Reed admits people not
normally eligible because of the security involved. Here, the VP and Dr.
B's constant ingress/egress to see BB necessitated him being somewhere more
secure than, say, Jefferson or Christiana.
2. The taxpayers are not footing any bill. All of his treatment is
billed to BB and his insurance.

Let me know if you get any questions along these lines, please. I imagine
DE writers may see this and ask.

Why is Beau Biden at Walter Reed?By Russ Vaughn

Why is Vice President Joe Biden’s son, Beau, being treated at Walter Reed
National Military Medical Center? The younger Biden is not active duty
military but in the past has served as a Delaware National Guard officer
with a tour as an Army lawyer in Iraq back in 2008-2009. Since that time he
has served as Delaware’s attorney general and is now a private practicing
attorney.

While we can thank young Biden for his service to his country just how much
service does his country owe him? Since when do military hospitals provide
specialized care for adult children of national politicians? That has to be
the reason he is now in a military hospital, because his past service in
the Delaware Guard certainly does not render him eligible to be treated
there. He is neither active duty military duty nor retired, so where is the
justification for his being treated at taxpayer expense?
