It's the old guard refusing to step aside. Biden was a major player for the Dems for along time. It's the same for Republicans really. It's a political class that won't if cede a little to the new guys. So they crush most of their young on the rise. And most of those people wouldn't be denied.
Also the last three presidents never served, so military service is falling out of fashion for presidents. The next person elected won't have served either. And Clinton never served.
I remember as a kid that Clinton not serving rubbed people the wrong way. My dad mentioned it a number of times. It used to be something that was expected but now voters don’t seem to care
I don't care if somebody served or not, just don't lie about your service or lack thereof.
...That being said, there's been a long-running formula for career politicians, and one of the optional branches of that formula is some sort of military service.
Personally, I keep it simple; I want results, not platitudes.
