I didn't realize that Bush 41 came so close to being eaten!


He was one short swim away from an island that was populated by soldiers
led
by
officers that felt eating the liver of an enemy was beneficial to their
health.
That belief didn't explain eating other body parts, notably the thigh
meat,
but the bottom line is that Bush paddled out - the other airmen paddled
in,
not
knowing that their choice was fatal.

Bush escaped death and so did Kennedy. But you don't win wars that way.
You win
wars by attacking the enemy and burning his black heart out leaving his
nation
a smoking burning ruin. Screw the "heroics" of the politicians. I'd rather
hear
the stories of the men who got the job done, many who never came home. The
exploits of both Bush and Kennedy are weak tea when compared to better men
who
helped destroy the enemy, many who now lie in foreign graves..My friends
among
them.


Now I have no axe to grind one way or the other but this seems
a little harsh. As best I recall Bush did get the job done, he was
no politician at the time, just another carrier pilot and he left a few
of his friends behind too. Including his rear gunner and radioman
neither of whom was rescued after they were shot down.

This guy flew 58 combat missions Art, I'd say he did his share.
