Yes, H.W.Bush was a war hero. Wasn't he the youngest Navy pilot in WWII? The best seller, "Fly Boys", is about the group of pilots H.W. Bush flew with. I marvel at all of H.W. Bush's accomplishments.

You're absolutely right. Bush the elder was one humdinger war hero! Which is why no one in his right mind would think he'd countenance his eldest son being a 'deserter', not for one minute!
