Mr. Squid,
All in good fun, but true. Airmen belong in the air, not in a tube under the sea. Anyway, Mr. Bush was in the Navy, it's only right that they should have plucked him from the briny deep. And you are correct, there are more airplanes at the bottom of the sea then there are submarines in the sky. But, what goes up must down, or in your case further down.
Regards,

That said, it does make some degree of sense to have a way to quietly insert people into hostile territory, who can then finger the correct target for an airstrike
