Not to mention, the odd idea of Bush’s family deliberately trying to manipulate things so that he would be assigned to fly a fighter jet with a terrible safety record… so he’d stay safe! Like there weren’t far safer things they could have picked for him (assuming they had that power).

They did not have that sort of power at the time, to manipulate the rules, laws, government, and media to the benefit of their family members.

They weren’t the Kennedys.
