[George H. W. Bush was a Navy pilot flying the Grumman TBF/TBM Avenger Torpedo plane, it also carried bombs but was not designed as a dive bomber (i.e. like the Douglas Dauntless) off the the aircraft carrier San Jacinto.]


There’s also the fact that he almost ended up on the dinner table - as the main course:

Newsweek called him a wimp, for not being man enough to become a liberal.

To prove that he wasn’t a wimp in the liberal sense, Bush went back on his “Read my lips, no new taxes” pledge. He paid the price in 1992.

No Zhang, we paid the price because Billy Blythe, the man who couldn’t keep his dick in his pants, was elected in 1992!
