Perhaps Biden didn't because it doesn't make him that different from a lot of America these days. Though it could have been done in a "I'm a parent with a child in Iraq like you folks with kids over there" way instead of a feel sorry for me, my child is in Iraq way. Or perhaps it's because his child isn't on the front lines and it could alienate people or prompt people to start claiming special treatment for his son (though if I understand correctly, his son is a JAG lawyer, which generally isn't a front line position and isn't obtainable through favors).
