Problem was the war was winding down and second the fighters he flew the F104 was not designed for viet battle.

Bush flew the F-102 Delta Dagger interceptor, whose mission was domestic Air Defense against attacking Soviet bombers. However, stranger things have been know to happen in war. The B-52 was a strategic bomber - not designed for the tactical bombing it was used for in Vietnam. Same with the F-111. So who knows? The important thing is that he volunteered - and there might have been a mission for his aircraft cobbled together - or he might have been retrained for another aircraft.

This is my point he volenteered and the type of plane he flew was not appropriate for the nam battle.
