Have to be careful…starting to feel sorry for him.
After the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on the World Trade Center, Hunter joined the Marines. He deployed to Iraq and later Afghanistan and faced frequent ambushes serving on the front lines, according to people he has spoken with about his time overseas.
When Hunter’s father decided to retire in 2008, he helped his son win his seat. Hunter was still in the Marine Corps Reserves at the time, so his wife and his father shepherded the campaign.
Hunter’s personal problems in Washington started early. While Hunter Sr. rarely drank and was careful never to be seen alone with another woman, Hunter was more carefree, said sources close to him.
At one point, then-Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) warned Hunter and his friends to cut it out and stay away from female lobbyists they’d frequently dine with at night. Hunter's father also called staff and members to check in on his son, said sources who know both men.
The article's an interesting if long read because it details all the ways they're closing in on this knucklehead. Must be scary as shit.
Yeah I get that. But it seems as if he started off with good intentions. Three Marine Corps tours in Iraq probably aren't a lot of fun even if you're the son of a powerful congresscritter.

That's it? I thought he was at least five years older. I guess vaping ages a person…or is it grifting that does that?
Hunter becomes the hunted.

Yeah, alcohol did to my brother what Nam couldn't finish.
Margaret found out Duncan II was dipping his pen in the congressional inkwell and found a nice way to get even.
