I wonder how much the ship’s basic design has changed since 1975?

There are many legitamite detractions one can make regarding the Bush terms in office, but love of country and it’s military are not among them.

Under his leadership, the Gulf War was a success.

God bless the Bush family.

Same here

[Jedidah]

Amen.

I remember that it was almost universally accepted after the Gulf War that Bush made a right judgment in not removing Saddam. He stuck to the mission and performed excellently.

Then the Clintons got in and revised history and by the end of their term they had everyone blaming him for it. All because the Clintons didn't know what to do with Iraq so by the end of their term we had a disaster.

My comment actually applies to both Bushes. There are many grievances a FReeper can hold against both men. Today, Karl Rove admitted the admin erred in letting detractors of the Iraq War get the upper hand. At least one problem with both Bushes was that they ignored the seditious media.

However, it had always been clear that the Bush family has had deep appreciation for the sacrifices made by the US military.

A carrier aviator gets a carrier named after him. That has got to be a little overwhelming. God bless 'em all.

Nevertheless, a controlled crash onto a postage-stamp sized hunk of steel steaming through 30-foot waves is a really dumb way to make a living. IMHO. ;-)

Why are on this website if you attacking both Bushes? Your attack would be most welcome on DU.

[FES0844]

Didn’t see this on the nightly news.

SONOBUOY PING!

Click on pic for past Navair pings.

Post or FReepmail me if you wish to be enlisted in or discharged from the Navair Pinglist.
The only requirement for inclusion in the Navair Pinglist is an interest in Naval Aviation.
This is a medium to low volume pinglist.

[valkyry1]

Probably a lot.

I wonder about the powerplant, but I presume that’s so tippy-top secret there’s no point in wondering.

[Ramius]

I’ve got absolutely no problem naming a carrier after GHWB. It’s a tiny bit creepy to name something so prominent after a President that is still living... but beyond that it’s a fitting tribute to a man who devoted his entire life to the service of his country.

[Vanders9]

Agree and agree.<

However, sorry but George H Bush is a rally cruddy name for an aircraft carrier.
