No, there's more to be said... Let's see:
1. Against the Gulf War in 1991 but then has no problem with the Yugoslav wars. Hmmm... I guess Democrat wars good, GOP wars bad.
2. Voted in favor if military intervention in Iraq (he even chaired the committee for the witnesses in support of it too). Wait but that was a GOP war... How could they support him after that???
3. He wanted to stall the operation on getting UBL to gather more intel. Never mind the indecision, let's make him the top guy to run our military.
4. Supported intervention in Libya... Why? Seriously why were we there? Also note the disaster it resulted in with 4 dead Americans including our US Ambassador.
5. Voted against Gays in the military. I guess before he was for it right? Yeah yeah, I get it... He "evolved". Never mind the fact he's been claiming he was "woke" so very early on in life.
6. Pushed to pull a significant number of troops out of Iraq resulting in a vacuum national security for Iraq. Then he had the gall to criticize Trump's actions against Syria after Biden helped his boss screw thing up there in the first place by enabling ISIS to expand their control.
7. By the left's standards, Biden also dodged the draft using "Asthma as a teenager" as the medical condition along with some student deferrals.
My point here is to note the inconsistencies by him as a leader as well as some of the hypocrisy by the left when comparing him to other candidates.

PFC (Join to see) - Only I wasn't denigrating this Soldier, I was responding to the OP who clearly stated "enough said". I disagree with that and I pointed out some of the issues Biden has with regards to the military, some of which are the standards pushed by the left.
Prickett would rather hide behind the words of a single WWII Soldier, which in no way represents the opinion of all WWII Soldiers, and attempt to shame me for supposedly "denigrating" the man. It is he who should be ashamed for doing so, as he ironically criticizes me for having an opinion of my own. I did not reference the man, I did not speak ill of him, and I have nothing but respect for any Soldier who served in WWII. That does not mean I have to agree with their perspective on an obviously flawed candidate. If it's not false outrage, he will instead make assumptions I am some kind of blind Trump supporter, whom I've also called a flawed candidate. But that doesn't fit his narrative or his myopic view of the world around him.
Frankly, I've long since decided to brush off his rants, pontifications, and inconsistent perspectives, which have so many times turned out to be wrong. Put simply, if I manage to trigger him into conveying how "outraged" he is with my statement, I must be doing something right.

Maj Kevin "Mac" McLaughlin I will agree sir, you must be doing something right. I know you weren't disrespecting the WWII veteran, I just love to call Prickett out. He assumes those who don't agree an can form an individual political thought must be a trumper if they don't agree.

PFC (Join to see) - Yes he is unfortunately a regular here who apparently loves nothing more than to troll others, insert (not offer) his usually bias "legal" opinion, and ridicule others for having their own opinions and/or expertise on the matter. Usually I ignore him, I no longer read his original posts that pop up in my feed, and I've considered tuning him out completely.
He once conveyed to me how his own business is suffering because of Covid and criticized how others managed to be hailed and get assistance (monetarily) for standing up to some of the unproductive restrictions hurting their own businesses. Seems to me he would do well to get off RP and work on that. But I have no idea what he's going through, only that he spends a significant amount of time posting A LOT of anti-Trump articles and videos, followed by arguing with those who don't agree with those posts, followed by a little more time trolling people in other threads like this one.

With all respect to this man's laudable service, no one watched his speech.
It, along with the rest of the DNC convention was unwatchable.
I tried. I really did.

Capt Gregory Prickett - Did it?
I don't know.
But after trying to watch both, the production quality and topical difference was night and day.
