G.H.W Bush flew over 60 combat mission--under REAL enemy fire.

That's right...he also got shot down and spent more time in the water than Kerry did in any of his six swimming pools.....got a DFC....THE HARD WAY!

GHW Bush had an 8mm film made during his WWII adventures. Unlike Curry this action was not staged! Indeed, he was featured on an episode of Navy Log as TV series that ran from 1955-58. In it the story was told of a picket line of US submarines that were performing search and rescue missions during the time when Bush senior was shot down. One of the sub crew members filmed Bush's rescue.

Prez Bush senior earned the DFC but I remember during the '92 campaigh he was referred to as a coward by the Dimbulbs. They have no shame.
