Not a big fan of the Bushes, but you need to go look at Bush Sr’s military record. His TBM Avenger was hit repeatedly by flak over Chichijima while on a mission to bomb the installations there. Despite his aircraft being crippled, he continued the mission and successfully bombed several installations on the island. Lieutenant Junior Grade Bush then nursed his now burning aircraft for several miles back towards friendly forces in order to give his crew the best chance of survival (i.e., not being instantly executed by the Japanese on the island); he then had his three man crew bail out - unfortunately, one was already dead and the other man’s parachute never opened. He spent four hours in shark infested waters before being picked up by the US submarine Finback and spending a month helping rescue other downed aviators until he could be transferred back to his carrier from the sub.

I hear you. I was referring to W and Cheney. They sent us into Iraq - with none of their family signing up
Btw, it has been suggested/reported that Bush Sr urged W not to invade Iraq, but W was determined to establish his independence from his dad
Bush Sr’s Secretary of State, Baker, clearly said that invadingcIraq was a mistake
