re: #74 Sharmuta

I think it’s unfair to assume President Bush volunteered in the hopes he’d be told no. We certainly can’t stop people from being cynical about it, but we don’t know what was in his heart and mind at the time.

I absolutely agree. It is also something that stands out that he would spend most of his time training on a plane that was slated for decommission. He certainly did not cut his own orders, but I do strongly suspect some family pull involved.
