Do your homework on his war activities and then take a deep breath and remember his father Prescott Bush was funding the Nazis at the same time Bush was doing all that heroism. Then his father funded Planned Parenthood with Margaret Sanger. Then his son funded Planned Parenthood for the full eight years he was in the White House. Evilmuch?

So his family was evil. He still willingly strapped his ass in a tin can and flew off to kill the enemy. Sixty times. My hat's off to him.

Pretty much every able-bodied man at the time served in WW2. It really wasn't an option. Younger people may not realize this but avoiding military service used to be a shameful thing and if you had any political aspirations at all, you best have a military record, especially if there was a war on. That's why Joe Kennedy ensured that his military age sons served (even though he personally was more on the side of Hitler).

Now the upper class men typically went to college first and served as officers and some of them flew planes - which was dangerous business to be sure. But they overall had it much better than the working class folk who mostly slogged in the trenches.
