You know you are bottom of the barrell if you have to fake a story about an Afghanistan war veterans to try and make yourself look good and sympathetic to war vets all over this country. Take the fake story Biden is telling out on the campaign trial now. Biden has invented a story about a four-star general had asked the then-vice president to travel to Kunar province in Afghanistan. Biden tries to come off as if he’s the good guy when he tried to pin a medal on a reluctant Navy officer. It’s all fake. It’s so bad and so fake, even the left wing Washington Post is calling out Biden over it. Who is writing these lies for Biden to tell on the campaign trail? China or Ukraine?

“A four-star general had asked the then-vice president to travel to Kunar province in Afghanistan, a dangerous foray into ‘godforsaken country’ to recognize the remarkable heroism of a Navy captain,” the Washington Post reported on Thursday. “Some told him it was too risky, but Biden said he brushed off their concerns.”
“We can lose a vice president,” Biden claimed to have said when asked to make the trip. “We can’t lose many more of these kids. Not a joke.”
As Biden recollected, the Navy captain “rappelled down a 60-foot ravine under fire and retrieved the body of an American comrade, carrying him on his back.” When the captain’s superiors wanted to honor his bravery with a “Silver Star,” the officer refused as it “felt like a failure” because his comrade had died.
“He said, ‘Sir, I don’t want the damn thing!’” said Biden, his “jaw clenched” and “voice rising to a shout,” according to the Post. “’Do not pin it on me, Sir! Please, Sir. Do not do that! He died. He died!’”
The raw emotion Biden exhibited when telling the harrowing story of bravery and loss left those in attendance “silent.”
“This is the God’s truth,” the former vice president added. “My word as a Biden.”
The only problem, as the Post reported, was that “almost every detail in the story appears to be incorrect.”:
