You say you aren't judging him but your posts indicate otherwise.

I wasn't, Wiki was. Wiki calls Bush's former unit "the most infamous champagne unit" so I thought, in the context of the discussion here, it was worth repeating (but to be fair to Bush I left out the part about it being
the most infamous champagne unit).
As to the "airplanes" thing, that was my bad - I misspoke, and you are correct that this was not fair to Bush so allow me to correct my mistake:
While other guys, the ones who didn't have a wealthy Congressman for a father, were dodging bullets in vietnam, Bush flew aircraft over Texas in the most infamous champagne unit of its day.
Better? :-)
