A friend of mind just asked me this and I think the answer is no, but wasn't 100% sure. Help me out here DU, if you please.

1. Yes. Duncan Hunter did/does, as does Senator Webb.
I know there are more, but not that many.

5. I think his son is a JAG lawyer or something...
Biden always makes it sound like his son "might" be in or go to Iraq. His sons names are Beau and Hunter and I can't remember which is the military one.
